About this book

When their father is mysteriously taken away, three children and their mother move from London comfort to a small country cottage beside a railway line, where the passing trains become their window onto adventure, friendship, and hope. Through small kindnesses, brave deeds, and the eventual clearing of their father's name, Nesbit tells a warm, gently suspenseful story of resilience and family love. Rich in character and quiet emotion, The Railway Children has enchanted generations of young readers and remains one of the best-loved of all children's classics. Tender and timeless, it is a story about ordinary courage and the ties that hold a family together.
