The classic adventures of Roberta, Peter and Phyllis — otherwise known as the ‘railway children’ After Father is suddenly and mysteriously forced to leave home, the children and their mother are transported from their comfortable London house to a cottage in the country. ‘Three Chimneys’ lies beside a railway track - a constant source of excitement and pleasure to all three. They befriend the Station Master and Perks the Porter, as well as their jovial ‘Old Gentleman’ who waves to them every day from the train. Peter, Bobbie and Phyllis rapidly learn to fend for themselves, although the disturbing mystery remains of where Father is and will he ever return ...? Following the trials and the joys of this Edwardian family, .. The Railway Children has proved to be enduringly popular. EDITH NESBIT (1858-1924). Celebrated children’s novelist E. Nesbit is remembered both for her ‘family’ stories and for her ‘magic’ stories, most famously Five Children and It. Edith Nesbit was born in Kennington, London, in August 1858, the youngest of a family of six. Her father, an agricultural chemist, died in 1862. Edith subsequently attended a number of different schools both in England and on the Continent and in 1870 returned to live in Halstead Hall in Kent. Her first published work was a poem entitled ‘The Dawn’, which appeared in the Sunday Magazine in 1876. In 1880 she married Hubert Bland and soon after took to commercial writing, when he lost all his money in an ill-fated business venture. Both were founder members of the Fabian Society. They had three children and lived in a small house in Lewisham, surviving for the next fifteen years on what Edith earned by writing romantic novels, verses and ‘re-told’ versions of Shakespeare. During Christmas 1897 there appeared in the Illustrated London News a story entitled The Treasure Seekers, under the pseudonym ‘Edith Mortimer’. The completed book was published at Christmas 1899 and this tale of the very likeable Bastable children received high acclaim. During 1899 E. Nesbit published a series of magical short stories in the Strand Magazine, which appeared in book form, under the title The Book of Dragons, in 1900. They were illustrated by H. R. Millar, as were most of her later works. Edith Nesbit and her husband moved to Well Hall in Kent in 1899. The Would-be-Goods (1901) and The New Treasure Seekers (1904) recounted the further adventures of the Bastable children. In 1902 Five Children and It was published. This enchanting and memorable story established E. Nesbit’s reputation as a leading children’s writer for all time. Its sequel, The Phoenix and the Carpet, was published in 1904 and two years later the magical The Story of the Amulet completed the trilogy. In 1906 The Railway Children was published, followed a year later by The Enchanted Castle, one of her most haunting stories. Her later books included The House of Arden (1908), Harding’s Luck (1909) and Wet Magic (1913), her last full-length children’s novel. Hubert Bland died in 1914 and in 1917 Edith married Thomas Tucker, an old friend. They quit Well Hall in 1921 for Dymchurch, Kent, and Edith continued writing stories until her death in May 1924. The Railway Children tells the story of Roberta, Peter and Phyllis, who are forced by sudden poverty to leave London with their mother and move to the countryside. One of E. Nesbit’s most fondly remembered , DE, [SC: 1.80], leichte Gebrauchsspuren, gewerbliches Angebot, 211, [GW: 130g], Banküberweisung, PayPal, Selbstabholung und Barzahlung, Internationaler Versand, [CT: Englischsprachige Bücher / Romane (englisch)]<
