The Railway Children by E. Nesbit
4.0

Oh what a delightful novel! Totally worth a reread. It's a classic children's novel appropriate for all ages. Such lessons of kindness are much needed in these stressful times.
It accounts for the adventures of three kids who have relocated into a house 'Three chimneys' near a railway.
The prose is quite simple and charming. The characters, especially the kids are endearing. The plot is quite positive and reminds me of Mary Poppins, only much more believable and real.
Certain lines are quite profound and reminders of simple kindness and humanity that exists.
