Charles Kingsley, (1819 - 1875) was ". an Anglican minister, a university professor, social reformer, historian, novelist and poet. He is particularly associated with Christian socialism, the working men's college, and forming labour cooperatives, which failed, but encouraged later working reforms. He was a friend and correspondent of Charles Darwin." . "Kingsley was a prolific author, and much involved in various social improvement activities. Some of his many fictional works are: "Yeast" ; "Alton Locke"; "Hypatia"; "Westward Ho!; "The Water Babies: A Fairy Tale for a Land Baby". Aside from his fictional creations, Kingsley published sermons, wrote a few histories, and a variety of other works. In 1859 he was appointed chaplain to Queen Victoria.
