Edith Nesbit’s beloved novel captures the magical enchantment of childhood. Siblings Bobbie, Peter, and Phyllis live a very comfortable life until their father disappears and they’re forced to move with their mother to a small country home near a train station. Despite their impoverished circumstances and their mother’s stress, the children never stop pursuing joy—and adventure. Between preventing a train accident, rescuing a Russian soldier, and befriending everyone in town, their days are full…even before they embark on their most important quest yet: finding their father.
Set in the charming English countryside, this story will make you feel nostalgic for simpler times.
