The Railway Children

Edith Nesbit’s classic family story about a group of siblings who move from London to the English countryside after an unexpected life change, now available in an unabridged, paperback volume in Union Square and Co.’s Children’s Signature Editions series.

When their father is falsely imprisoned for spying, three siblings, Roberta, Peter, and Phyllis, and their mother are forced to move from their comfortable London home to a small country cottage to make ends meet. Navigating life’s new challenges, the children fill their days at the nearby railway station where they make friends with the porter and wave to a kind old gentleman on his daily commute. Soon, they are thrust into adventure as they learn of a potential railway disaster and work to clear their father’s name.
