phantomgecko 's review for:

The Water Babies by Charles Kingsley
3.5
adventurous lighthearted medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I enjoyed the tone, the narration style.

Progressive for being a 19th century children's story. What with all the condemnation of child abuse.

Interesting read, surprised it took me so long to even hear of it.
