The Railway Children tells the story of a mother and her three children who move to the countryside after their father disappears.
Dame Jacqueline said: I ve always loved E Nesbit s wonderful classic The Railway Children but I ve also felt she wasn t quite fair to the youngest child Phyllis. All she can say about her is that she meant extremely well .
The Railway Children tells the story of a mother and her three children who move to the countryside after their father disappears I ve reimagined the story from the youngest child s point of view. The Nesbit book is very much a fairy story where every problem is wondrously overcome by heroic mother and an old gentleman friend.
