About the Book: The Railway Children
It was the night their father had returned home. Peter had been waiting
patiently to get his engine fixed. And right when they get to it, theres a knock
on the front door. Two gentlemen arrive, and take their father away. Soon
enough, the three siblings—Roberta, Peter, and young Phyllis—leave the house
along with their mother and move to live in the country in a cottage near the
railway station. They did not guess then how they would grow to love the
railway, and how soon it would become the centre of their new life, nor what
wonders and changes it
