The Water-Babies: A Fairy Tale for a Land-Baby

Charles Kingsley · Macmillan and Co. (London and Cambridge) · 1863

The book stayed in print with wholly new illustration programs — Linley Sambourne's 100 illustrations for the 1885 edition, Warwick Goble's color plates for 1909, and W. Heath Robinson's for Constable's 1915 edition among them — so an illustrated 'gift book' copy of The Water-Babies is not the sparingly illustrated 1863 Macmillan first edition and should not be mistaken for it.
