Complicated
It took me way too long to read this as it was a work lunch time read only book. Many different themes in this book but the narrator complicates quite a simple storyline. Not the amazing children's stories of today and probably more suited to adults wanting a social historical context to childrens lives during the time of publication.
I liked the book a lot, but just as a warning to anyone wanting it, there is a passage in which women are called soft and weak and men are called brave and strong and it isn't explicitly refuted. Just something that would be good to talk to any child about that reads the book to be sure they understand that we don't believe that to be true today!

‘Classic a Month Challenge 2022’ (1/12)
The first of my challenge to read one classic a month. As one of my Dads favourite films, I wanted to start with ‘The Railway Children’. This was just a fun read and it was a great one to start with!

I watched this as a film when I was a child and I loved it. Pretty sure I watched it multiple times a week especially if I was sick.
I love the language used, its so enticing and I just really enjoyed it. This book to me is a feel good book.
