Description

The Railway Children Returns is coming to cinemas soon!

A sequal to the much loved 1970 adaptation of The Railway Children, starring Jenny Agutter playing the adult version of herself from the original film. A tale of blissful independence and adventure, Edith Nesbit’s beloved children’s classic is a timeless story of joy, hope and the importance of family. Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers.

These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover.

This edition of The Railway Children features the beautiful illustrations of C.

E. Brock, and an afterword by editor and publisher Anna South. Peter, Phyllis and Roberta’s lives change overnight when their father is taken away by two strangers.

They move from the comfort of their London home to a small country cottage, and are left to their own devices while their mother writes day and night to support the family.

But with their new poverty comes more freedom than they ever dreamed of, and the railway line at the bottom of their garden offers the trio a world of new friendships that will change their lives forever.
