The Railway Children is a classic children's book by E. Nesbit, originally published in 1906.
The story follows an Edwardian family who move away from their home in London to a cottage in the countryside. Near to their new home is a Railway line where the three children, Peter, Bobbie and Phyllis, explore and have to fend for themselves. They also befriend workers at the station and on the trains and an Old Gentleman who travels on the train which passes through the station.
This story is a classic full of adventures and joys of an Edwardian family adapting to their new life.
