Charles Kingsley-novelist . theologian, poet, parson, professor-was born just over 150 years ago f Although best remembered for
Westward Ho! and The Water Babies, he also wrote thirty-five other books. ALAN Gibson considers not only Kingsley the writer but also the social reformer-one of the first to whom the name ' muscular Christian ' was applied-and says it is in this role that he has most claim upon our interest and sympathies today.
