DESCRIPTION - For eighty - five years, THE RAILWAY CHILDREN has been a much - loved book because it so truthfully portrays a child's conception of family secrets, morality, and life. At the story's beginning, Roberta and Phyllis and their brother, Peter, are growing up in a comfortable London townhouse. until their happy life ends overnight. Their mother's distress, the servants' whispers, and a rushed relocation to a rundown country cottage tell them that something terrible has happened, but no one will explain what. Worse, their father has gone away, and now they are even too poor for a proper teatime. As Mother reminds them, 'Jam or butter, dear - not jam and butter. We can't afford that sort of reckless luxury nowadays.' But plucky and curious, the children are drawn to the nearby railway station, where they befriend the rough - edged station porter and meet the mysterious, kindly 'Old Gentleman' who rides the 9:15. Wonderful adventures follow, yet throughout, Roberta, the oldest child, has one aim - to get her father back. and we discover that behind this favorite children's classic is a very grown - up world of harsh injustice, risk - taking, and unwavering love. inventory #33461.
