caroparr 's review for:

The Railway Children by E. Nesbit
3.0

All of Nesbit's books for children are wonderful, and I grew up reading most of them. Though this one has the always satisfactory theme of justice gone wrong, it's a bit too priggish (even though the children warn each other against this unattractive trait). Still, a thumping good read, and I may track down the film and TV series now. Thanks to the Backlisted podcast for the discussion.
