Tom the boy Sweep is brutalised by his employer Mr Grimes and yearns for the unattainable Ellie. Escaping into the river he enters a wondrous realm of talking creatures, moralising fairies and the industrious water babies. But will he ever be able to complete the tasks they set him and reach the Other-End-of-Nowhere? Kingsley's fairy-tale is a sparkling fantasy, a sensuous evocation of the underwater world and the dappled light of childhood. Suitable for anyone aged 5 upwards with a vivid imagination and sense of wonder.
