The Railway Children - Hardcover

by Edith Nesbit (Author), C. E. Brock (Illustrator)

When their father is unexpectedly taken away, Bobbie, Peter, and Phyllis are thrust into an entirely new world--trading London's familiar streets for a remote country cottage near a railway.

What unfolds are adventures brimming with danger and discovery: the trio races to prevent a catastrophic train wreck, forges unlikely friendships with the railway porter and an old gentleman who rides the trains, while discovering their own courage in the process. The Railway Children pulses with excitement and together with all twenty-one of C.E. Brock's original drawings, captures the magic of childhood.
