The Railway Children - Edith Nesbit - Bog

""The Railway Children"" is a classic children's book written by Edith Nesbit. The story follows three siblings, Roberta, Peter, and Phyllis, who move to the countryside with their mother after their father is wrongly accused of spying and imprisoned. The children's new home is near a railway station, and they soon become fascinated with trains and the people who work on them. As they explore their new surroundings, the siblings make new friends and have many adventures, including helping a young boy who has fallen off a train and trying to solve the mystery of their father's disappearance. Along the way, they learn important lessons about family, friendship, and the power of determination. ""The Railway Children"" is a heartwarming tale that has captured the imaginations of generations of readers.After the adventure of Peter's Coal-mine, it seemed well to the children to keep away from the station--but they did not, they could not, keep away from the railway. They had lived all their lives in a street where cabs and omnibuses rumbled by at all hours, and the carts of butchers and bakers and candlestick makers (I never saw a candlestick-maker's cart; did you?)This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
