THE RAILWAY CHILDREN
“As with any children's classic, The Railway Children’s appeal lies in a cracking plot, good character development and adult accessibility; parents are as keen to read as their children are to listen.”
“A must-read book for people of all ages.” (The Guardian)
“The Railway Children is a weepie that will never run out of steam.” (Daily Telegraph)
This edition of Edith Nesbit’s much-loved tale, which was originally serialised in The London Magazine in 1905 and first published as a book in 1906, includes the original illustrations by C. E. Brock.
The 1970 film version, starring Jenny Agutter, is the best-known of many screen and stage adaptations.
READERS’ REVIEWS:
“Loved this book as a child and still love it now.”
“Such a touching and moving story.”
“Highly recommended. A lovely children’s story .”
“The end still makes me cry a little. Brilliant.”
“The Railway Children is a delightful story.”
“The book is every bit as good, if not better, than the film. With the book you get more adventures than in the film, as well as more opportunity to get to know the characters of the children and to soak up the atmosphere of the countryside around their country cottage.”
“The Railway Children is a true masterpiece of children's literature.”
“It's a great book.”
