After a father's abrupt arrest, his wife and children must leave
their comfortable London home for a small cottage that sits near a
bustling railway. While the mother struggles to make ends meet,
siblings Roberta (nicknamed Bobbie), Peter and Phyllis adapt to
their gloomy present with hopes of a brighter future. Bobbie is the
oldest of three middleclass children thrust into poverty after
their father is falsely imprisoned. She and her siblings, Peter and
Phyliss, learn to embrace their new surroundings including the busy
railway station. The children are frequent visitors of the local
hub, engaging in an array of innocent yet spirited adventurers.
Throughout their stay, they befriend multiple passengers, one of
whom may be the key to their father's freedom. The author creates
an authentic portrayal of real-world conflict and consequences.
Despite countless challenges, the children manage to find unique
opportunities in the face of adversity. They are presented as
resourceful and self-sufficient protagonists whose ingenuity makes
them the heroes of their own story. With an eye-catching new cover,
and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Railway
Children is both modern and readable.
