This was an enchanting story and I strangely had a very hard time putting it down. Maybe it was because of the suspense of what could possibly have happened to Father. My children read it before I finally picked it up and they raved about how wonderful it was. There were several points in the story that I teared up. The bravery and independence of the children paired with their sweet innocence was a beautiful contrast. It served as a reminder that for all a child's wisdom and intelligence and even ingenuity children are still quite ignorant of many adults fears, prides and prejudices. Simply lovely.
I read this book years ago when I was small and remember enjoying it, I think I kept hold of it for nostalgia. Looking back on it now as an adult, it’s still an enjoyable read although I think kids of today may struggle to relate to some of it (washing clothes outside in a bath tub for example), although I would certainly encourage children to grow be it a go from an adventure point of view. It’s a bit sweet in places but not too sickly sweet as I found Little Women. Good to look back.
I read this when I was about nine years old. I remember loving the aesthetic and atmosphere of it.
Thinking about it makes me nostalgic

4 stars. Audiobook read by Jenny Agutter.
Another classic children's book that I've been meaning to read (or in this case, listen to). The narratioon by Agutter is simple and soft and charming. The story is almost a series of loosely connected adventures, the three children being earnest and painfully well-intentioned as they do kind deeds and stumble upon and aid in one emergency after another! Very charming though, I'll miss listening to this.

Buku anak bisa dibilang jadi "comfort genre" saya dalam baca buku, apalagi kalau sedang lelah dengan banyak hal tapi ingin tetap membaca buku yang membuat hati hangat.
Buku ini salah satunya, salah satu buku anak klasik yang ditulis Nesbit, sudah banyak diadaptasi ke film tapi saya belum nonton satupun filmnya.
Berkisah tentang petualangan tiga bersaudara: Roberta (Bobby), Peter & Phyllis. Ketiganya anak-anak dari keluarga berada yang karena satu hal harus berubah hidup sekedarnya. Mereka bahkan pindah dari London ke "The Three Chimneys". Sebuah tempat tinggal yang tak jauh dari jalur kereta dan stasiun.
Petualangan mereka banyak dimulai dari jalur kereta dan stasiun, mulai dari percobaan mencuri bahan bakar untuk nenghangatkan rumah yang dilakukan Peter, membantu penyintas dari Russia yang mencari keluarganya, penyelamatan heroik untuk mencegah kecelakaan kereta, hingga menemukan seorang anak laki-laki yang terluka dan mereka bawa ke rumah.
Saya merasa hangat membacanya, interaksi ibu dan ketiga anak ini secara tak langsung berpengaruh pada sikap mereka dalam menghargai orang lain. Favorit saya adalah bagian ketika tiga bersaudara ini menyiapkan kejutan ulang tahun untuk porter di stasiun kereta.
Ah, ada beberapa kutipan yang saya highlight dari buku ini:
---
"Now, listen," said Mother; "it's quite true that we're poor, but we have enough to live on. You mustn't go telling everyone about our affairs—it's not right. And you must never, never, never ask strangers to give you things. Now always remember that—won't you?"
---
"Mother said we weren't to ask people for things," said Bobbie, doubtfully. "For ourselves, she meant, silly, not for other people.

Bacaan akhir pekan yang menyenangkan.

Another ‘classic’ that I didn’t enjoy. The story was massively drawn out and in some places extremely exaggerated. The mothers lack of letting the children know where their father was was imo very cruel and not really needed. The ending was predictable. The constant use of ‘and’ like a million times in a sentence (slight exaggeration but still) was highly frustrating!
