Housed in a fleece-lined quarter green morocco over green cloth clamshell case. <br/><br/>"Charles Kingsley was a rural vicar in Victorian England and the "land-baby" of the sub-title was his youngest son five-year-old Grenville Arthur. In writing this fairy tale about the underwater adventures of Tom a chimney-sweep's climbing-boy Kingsley uttered many a sermon. But along with his zeal for Anglican Christianity he also brought into play his enthusiasm for nature and his strong sense of indignation at the Victorian practice of using small children as laborers. <br/><br/>The difference between the first and second states is solely the removal of the L'Envoi leaf. The first state "contains a leaf bearing a poem L'Envoi. Kingsley had second thoughts about this while the book was being printed and he had the leaf removed but not before a few hundred copies of the book had already gone forth."
