Ich hab gedacht, ich mache mal weiter mit den englischen Kinderbuchklassikern, und habe dieses Buch als englisches Hörbuch bei Audible gehört (gab's kostenlos im Abo). Geschrieben ist es zu Anfang des 20ten Jahrhunderts, und das merkt man durchaus. Trotzdem ist es eine nette Geschichte aus einer Zeit, als eine Eisenbahnlinie noch der "heiße Scheiß" war, zu dem die Kinder täglich pilgern. Ist nur ein kurzes Büchlein, das in einer Stunde vorgelesen ist - aber mir hat es sehr gut gefallen, zumal es von der Vorleserin so schön "very british" vorgetragen wird. Ich denke, ich mache eine Serie aus den englischen Kinderbuchklassikern.
