The Railway Children

Young heroes of the novel by Edith Nesbit (1858-1924) “The Railway Children” have to move from their comfortable house in London to live in a small rural estate. There are no servants with them already, their mother is constantly at her work, so little ones, apart from their home duties, have to seek entertainments for themselves. But as to this task, they have no difficulties at all: adventures find them anywhere, and their shrewdness, inventiveness, disposition at doing good deeds help the children get out of awkward predicaments and find many true friends.
