About this book

Charles Kingsley's *Madam How and Lady Why* introduces children to earth sciences—geology, geography, and natural phenomena like rivers, earthquakes, and glaciers—through accessible, conversational lessons about how the physical world was formed. It suits young readers and educators interested in Victorian-era natural science writing and the history of children's educational literature.

Charles Kingsley

Charles Kingsley was an English clergyman, social reformer, historian, novelist and poet. A broad church priest of the Church of England, he is particularly associated with Christian socialism, Anti-Catholicism, the working men's college, and forming labour cooperatives, which failed, but encouraged later working reforms. He is known for his novels Yeast (1848), Alton Locke (1850), Hypatia (1853), Westward Ho! (1855), The Water-Babies (1863), and Hereward the Wake (1866).
