Synopsis

When their father is mysteriously taken away, Roberta, Peter and Phyllis leave their comfortable London home for a small cottage beside a railway line in the country. There they find friendship, adventure and a great deal of courage: a perilous landslide, a daring rescue on the line, a Russian exile far from home, and the steady kindness of the Old Gentleman on the 9:15 train.

E. Nesbit's 1906 classic is one of the most beloved family stories in English, by turns funny, suspenseful and quietly moving. This unabridged recording is read in clear, natural English, complete in fourteen chapters, and remains a superb choice for family listening.

About E. Nesbit

Edith Nesbit was a mischievous child who grew up into an unconventional adult. With her husband, Hubert Bland, she was one of the founder members of the socialist Fabian Society; their household became a centre of the socialist and literary circles of the times. E. Nesbit turned late to children's writing. Her first children's book, The Treasure Seekers, was published in 1899 to great acclaim. Other books featuring the Bastable children followed, and a series of magical fantasy books, including Five Children and It also became very popular. The Railway Children was first published monthly in the London Magazine in 1905, and published as a book in 1906, which has been in print ever since.
