Publisher's Synopsis

This picture-book adaptation tells of Tom, a poor sweep's boy who manages to escape from his cruel master Mister Grimes. He stops by a river to rest, and dives into the water to get clean. The fairies take pity on his suffering and turn him into a water baby. This is the start of Tom's adventures.
