The tale of Tom's transformation to the life of a water baby, gently explores themes of the power of good versus evil, redemption and change, whilst also highlighting the social issues surrounding child labour at the time. Sympathetically retold by Jane Carruth, the abridged text is complemented by Anne Grahame Johnstone's truly enchanting illustrations.
