Description
E. Nesbit's beloved classic—the story of three children who move with their mother to the country after their father's mysterious disappearance and whose friendship with the railway workers and encounters with a series of strangers teach them more about the adult world than they expect—is one of the most warm-hearted, most beautifully observed, and most enduringly satisfying works in the entire tradition of English children's literature. Written with Nesbit's incomparable combination of humor, sentiment, and genuine social intelligence, this is essential reading for every child and every adult who remembers it as one of the great reading experiences of childhood. A genuine classic.
