The Water-Babies
from Still Scared: Talking Children's Horror Hosted by Ren Wednesday, Adam Whybray
In this episode, your hosts Adam Whybray and Ren Wednesday go way back to 1863 for their discussion of the bizarre and 'nearly unreadable' Victorian morality tale The Water-Babies, by Charles Kingsley. Join us for an underwater spectacular of whimsy, heavy-handed moralising and offhand bigotry, that'll have you saying: 'I'm glad I didn't have to read this book!' A full transcript of this episode is available at: http://stillscared.podigee.io/17-waterbabies Content note for discussion of a part of the novel that features anti-black racism.
