The Railway Children
by E. Nesbit
A delightful children's book published in 1906. The story is about a family whose father has been charged with treason, have lost their home & income. The mother & three children must move away from their wealthy town home into a small cottage out in the country. As they explore their new surroundings, their mother tries to generate money by writing stories. The title is based on the fact that the children befriend railway workers and local townsfolk (they don't become runaways that ride the rails, as I originally assumed from the title).
