A loving portrait of what was possibly unusual life even at the time of writing. Some very weird social/class politics appear, but the escapades of the three children are entertaining, and while they are the kind of unpleasant that is common in children, there is no obvious maliciousness in their interactions.

3/5 sao
Có những phân đoạn mình rất yêu thích nhưng cũng có những phân đoạn thấy hơi mất tập trung vì sự dài lê thê về tiểu tiết, nhưng tựu chung lại đây vẫn là một cuốn sách khá vui, cho lứa tiểu học đọc cũng ổn mà cấp 2 cũng hợp. Nhưng mà đúng là sách thiếu nhi, khi mọi thứ đều tình cờ mà hợp lí với nhau vậy dù có nhiều chỗ hơi phi thực tế.

For a heart-warming (and free - librivox) story, this gets 5 stars. But for something that touches on all the important ideas of reality, philosophy, metaphysics, ethics, history, quantum mechanics, game theory, parenting, relationships, educational theory, etc, it drops .52 stars. So, 4.48.
E.Nesbit's The Railway Children is a Very Good Book. Here is my take on it. It is written in a very simple language that is very easy to read. It's a story of three children and mystery of their father's Going away and coming back but it's very beautifully written and I have a lot of love for it
This is the story of three siblings whose father goes away and they have to go live in the country with their mother. Their most promising source of entertainment is the nearby railway station. They make friends with the men who work there, wave at the passing trains, and have numerous adventures. They tend to save the day a fair bit.
The girls are treated equally to their brother by the author, and even by their parents really. Considering that this is Edwardian Britain. And even just considering similar contemporary books.
I found it an enjoyable read, even though I'm an adult (some of the time) and not too keen on trains.

After a number of murder mystery, twisted characters, I wanted to read something light and what better than children's classic and what better than the railway children.
This book shows the purity and innocence of children. Oh yes, as a person born in 90s era, this book definitely was nostalgic in some aspects. In the age of mobile phones, TV , we seldom understand the joy of sitting by the railway tracks and watching the train pass by like a green dragon as Phyllis fantasizes AMD waving to people inside the train least expecting someone to wave back. In the age where we connect to friends using social media, this book reminded me the times where we used to befriend people by striking up a conversation face to face. I ended up shedding a tear or two after couple of chapters. It was a good light hearted emotional read
