‘Sea Sweetie’ is inspired by the enchanting children’s book ‘The Water Babies’, by Charles Kingsley who lived in Eversley, Hampshire. Chimney sweep Tom escapes from a life of grime to a magical underwater world discovering a colony of little water babies and a world of love, joy and abundance but he becomes obsessed with sea sweeties and devours every last one! The following day, Tom discovers that he is covered with thorns. He loses all enjoyment from the sweeties and his prickles keep everyone away.
