I always find it hard to review children's books, because they're not aimed at me. Still, I liked The Railway Children, and Karen Savage as the narrator. 

4-4.5 Some bits are a bit old-timey but then of course this is a classic - reading the reimagined modern Jacqueline Wilson version next, wonder how the two will compare!
