Book Synopsis
Never out of print since its first publication in 1906, The Railway Children is one of the most loved children's stories of all time. 'My all-time favourite classic children's author' Jacqueline Wilson

Trade Review
It has the power to move even the hardest heart. Edith Nesbit has surely brought the liveliness through words as if it were a real story. The best thing about the story is that no one is the bad-bad-guy. No one is a miscreant. I think very few stories have it. A must-read book for people of all ages . . . * Guardian *
I love her books
My all-time favourite classic children's author
Edith Nesbit is endlessly surprising and inventive . . . She is also simply the funniest writer we have ever had, while being the one who could most easily and sweetly break your heart with a phrase. Just try saying "Daddy, oh my Daddy" without catching your breath
By turns sweet and serious, this much loved classic is above all a celebration of kindness and hope
