yangyvonne 's review for:
The Railway Children
by E. Nesbit
We read this one a chapter a night with a few nights off here and there. Again, it’s an old book, so the language needs some explaining to the younger crowd and there are some passages that I edited due to racist or questionable language. The basic story is about a cute family of two girls and a boy (all of whom go by typically male names) who live the high life in the city and must travel to the country and live “poor” when their father is wrongfully imprisoned. They soon take refuge from boredom at the local station (hence the title) and have a series of (mis)adventures in their new locale, making friends and charming everyone they meet. Naturally there is a happy ending, which ties many characters together.
