Charles Kingsley - duchowny, prozaik, poeta i dramaturg angielski, związany z południowo-zachodnią Anglią.

Urodził się w hrabstwie Devon, w rodzinie pastora. Z tym regionem związane są młode lata pisarza. Odebrał gruntowne wykształcenie – skończył Uniwersytet Cambridge. Był profesorem literatury na Uniwersytecie Cambridge. Zrezygnował z profesury dla tytułu kanonika w katedrze w Chester. Podczas pobytu w tym mieście założył Towarzystwo nauk przyrodniczych, które gorąco popierało teorię ewolucji Darwina.

Jego pierwsza książka, Saint's Tragedy powstała w r. 1849. W swych powieściach skupia się na życiu społecznym Anglii przedwiktoriańskiej i wiktoriańskiej. Największą sławę przyniosła mu powieść dla młodego czytelnika Wodne dzieci o kominiarczyku mającym przygody pod wodą. Inna powieść, Westward Ho!, traktująca o emigracji do Ameryki, dała początek popularnemu kąpielisku nad Atlantykiem. Wikipedia

“Do you feel that you have lost your way in life? Then God Himself will show you your way. Are you utterly helpless, worn out, body and soul? Then God's eternal love is ready and willing to help you up, and revive you. Are you wearied with doubts and terrors? Then God's eternal light is ready to show you your way; God's eternal peace ready to give you peace. Do you feel yourself full of sins and faults? Then take heart; for God's unchangeable will is, to take away those sins, and purge you from those faults.”

The cruel hungry foam,
To her grave beside the sea:
But still the boatmen hear her call the cattle home
Across the sands of Dee.”
