What is The Railway Children about?
When their father mysteriously disappears, Bobbie, Peter and Phyllis move with their mother to a cottage in the countryside. Life is unfamiliar at first, but the railway nearby soon becomes the centre of their exciting new world. The children wave to passing trains, make friends and find themselves caught up in daring adventures, from helping people in danger to uncovering important secrets. Through courage, kindness and cleverness, they discover that even difficult times can lead to unexpected happiness.
