Book Review:
E. Nesbit’s The Railway Children (1906) is one of the most beloved children’s books ever written. When their father is falsely imprisoned, Roberta, Peter, and Phyllis move with their mother to a small country house near a railway station. They befriend Perks the porter and the Station Master, and they try to solve the mystery of their father’s disappearance. The children perform acts of quiet heroism — stopping a train from disaster, saving a boy from a tunnel fire. The story celebrates kindness, courage, and the power of family. The 1970 film adaptation is also a classic. This Puffin Classics edition is complete and unabridged. Perfect for young readers and nostalgic adults
