The Railway Children by E. Nesbit
5.0
A lovely little nostalgic re-read. I read this MANY times as a kid and I absolutely remember why I loved it. I think this book probably spawned my love of British humor and wit in literature -- the wry kind of authorial voice that I definitely gravitate to now.
There are some outdates views on gender roles expressed, just a time or two -- and then other times those roles are pushed back against slightly -- but makes sense with it having been published in 1906!
