The Essential Collection.
Specially abridged for Puffin Classics, this is the classic story of a chimney-boy's discoveries in a magical underwater world.
Tom, an ill-treated chimney-boy, jumps into a cool stream to clean the soot off himself - and becomes a water baby, cleaner and happier than he has even been, in a fairy world under river and sea. Meeting beautiful and frightening creatures, Tom travels to the Other-end-of-Nowhere on an unforgettable voyage of discovery.
