EDITORS COMMENTS
Tom and the Dragonflies: A Delightful Moment from the Water Babies by Kenneth Graham and Mary Blair, 1909, Mary Evans Picture Library This enchanting image captures a moment from the timeless classic "The Water Babies" by Kenneth Grahame, first published in 1863, with illustrations by Mary Blair in 1909. The scene depicts Tom, the story's young protagonist, suspended in mid-air as he reaches out to catch a group of dragonflies. The thing that whirred up into the air, as described in the text, is Tom's makeshift water-proof pad, which he uses to escape from the water and explore the world above. The serene pond, adorned with lily pads and surrounded by lush greenery, sets the perfect stage for this magical moment. Tom's joyful expression and the graceful flight of the dragonflies add to the whimsical charm of the scene. This photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich history of children's literature and the captivating illustrations that have brought beloved stories to life for generations. The Water Babies, a tale of adventure, morality, and transformation, has remained a cherished part of children's literature since its publication. The story follows Tom, a young chimney sweep who falls into the river Thames and is transformed into a water baby. Through his journey, he learns valuable lessons about kindness, friendship, and the beauty of nature. This photograph is not only a stunning representation of the story's enchanting illustrations but also a reminder of the enduring appeal of "The Water Babies" and the magical worlds that lie within the pages of classic children's books.
