Publisher's Summary:
"The Railway Children" is a children's book by E. Nesbit. The story concerns a family who move to "Three Chimneys", a house near the railway, after the father, who works at the Foreign office, is imprisoned after being falsely accused of spying. The children befriend an old Gentleman who regularly takes the 9:15 train near their home; he is eventually able to help prove their father's innocence, and the family is reunited. The family takes care of a Russian exile, Mr. Szczepansky, who came to England looking for his family (later located) and Jim, the grandson of the old Gentleman, who suffers a broken leg in a tunnel.

Bravery, Innocence and Good Fun
I underestimated how much I would love this book. The Railway Children is a story about three siblings and their adventures in the countryside. Full of bravery, innocence and good fun, it is the kind of story that I want my own children to read one day.
Thoroughly enjoyable classic
My children are grown, but I am preparing for grands at this point, and besides, I still enjoy a good children's story myself. The characters were quite believable and likable, the scenery beautiful, and there was plenty of good, clean, educational adventure. Everything to like and nothing to regret. (There were even good manners, and real character to admire and emulate.)
I enjoyed every moment of the read, and was sorry to see it end.
Good, Clean Read
I liked how the story was narrated. The kids had a great relationship with each other and it was to read about their adventures.
Love it! Wonderful narration on audible!
I bought this mainly to add the audible deal to it. Our son (8) LOVES this story and the narrator is very good! Great buy for us!
I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the characters
I had never read the book although I had known about it since childhood. I downloaded it to my Kindle to have something quick and simple to read while waiting for appointments. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the characters. The children in the story were being taught to persevere and be happy in an unhappy situation (as the reader should). They were taught it is better to give than receive (as the reader should be). They were encouraged to get along with each other and help around the house (as the reader should). Typical childhood morality story but the characters were all rather endearing and the storyline wasn't too syrupy and good. Great ending.
