This edition of Edith Nesbit�s much-loved tale, which was originally serialised in The London Magazine in 1905 and first published as a book in 1906, includes the original illustrations by C. E. Brock.
The 1970 film version, starring Jenny Agutter, is the best-known of many screen and stage adaptations.

READERS� REVIEWS:
"Loved this book as a child and still love it now."
"Such a touching and moving story."
"Highly recommended. A lovely children�s story ."
"The end still makes me cry a little. Brilliant."
"The Railway Children is a delightful story."

"The Railway Children is a true masterpiece of children's literature."
"It's a great book."
