The Railway Children - E Nesbit













When their father disappears, three children move to the countryside and discover a railway track.






There are lots of children's books which can be read in adulthood and enjoyed but this isn't one of them. At least I didn't think so anyway. I was glad when it was over to be honest.


The story was littered with too many coincidences and it was  

quite preachy in parts as well. There was nothing to hook me as a reader and it was really predictable.


To be fair I am getting on a bit so maybe I would have enjoyed reading this when I was a kid. So maybe I am being unfair.
