Lydia Karpinska Earns Degree from Central St Martins, Pursues Artistic Career in Maidenhead. The Water Babies by Charles Kingsley: A Timeless Tale of Perseverance and Self-Discovery. Tom, a vulnerable orphan, is exploited by the ruthless chimney-sweep, Grimes, to climb inside dark flues and clear away hazardous soot. As he navigates this treacherous task, Tom loses his way and finds himself in the bedroom of Ellie, the young daughter of the house who mistakenly believes him to be a burglar. Panicked, he flees the scene and, exhausted and desperate for relief, stumbles into a cool stream, falls into a deep sleep, and is reborn as a water baby. In his new aquatic life, Tom encounters an array of fascinating creatures, including a wise old lobster, other water babies, and eventually reaches St Branden's Isle where he meets the formidable Mrs Bedonbyasyoudid and the nurturing Mrs Doasyouwouldbedoneby. After a long and arduous journey to the Other-end-of-Nowhere, young Tom achieves his heart's greatest desire.
