The Railway Children by E. Nesbit
5.0
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
