The Railway Children Collector's Edition Hardcover

Collector's Edition of The Railway Children, a hardcover book written by Edith Nesbit, published by Wordsworth Classics. "When Father goes away with two strangers one evening, the lives of Roberta, Peter, and Phyllis are shattered. They and their mother must move from their comfortable London home to live in a simple country cottage, where Mother writes books to make ends meet. However, they soon come to love the railway near their cottage, and they habitually wave to the Old Gentleman who rides on it. They befriend the porter, Perks, and through him learn railway lore and much else. They have many adventures, and when they save a train from disaster, the Old Gentleman helps them to solve the mystery of their father's disappearance, and the family is happily reunited."
