Description
One of the most unusual children's books ever written, this book was originally intended as a satire in support of Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species and explores many of the issues at the forefront of biologists' minds at the time. First published as a complete novel in 1863, Charles Kingsley's classic tale also explores ideas about religion, the Victorian education system and the working conditions of children and the poor. The Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of gift editions of classic titles.
