Description
"In fact, the fairies had turned him into a water-baby."
"...you will believe the one true, orthodox, inductive, rational, deductive, philosohpical, seductive, logical, productive, irrefragable, salutary, nominalistic, comfortable, realistic, and on-all-accounts-to-be-received doctrine of this wonderful fairy tale; which is that your soul makes your body, just as a snail makes his shell."
~Charles Kingsley, "The Water Babies, A Fairy Tale for a Land Baby", 1863
From a 1960 print.

Beautiful rendering and mythic account of this image. If I could talk to this little boy today, ..... oh wait, there's a knock on the door!
