  <default_description>&quot;The Railway Children&quot; are Roberta, Peter and Phyllis, three young children who move to a house near a railway when their father is wrongly accused and falsely imprisoned for selling government secrets to the Russians. The children pass the time by watching the railcars go by and waving to the passengers riding the train. Eventually they meet Perks, the station porter and an old gentleman that may be able to help get their father out of prison.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Okay, the book is found in the juvenile fiction section at the library.  It's such a refreshing story!!  Written in early 1900 about three english children and their mother who move to the country.  Every chapter I was waiting for something bad to happen: death and tragedy, affairs, the children bei...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/48978978">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Something about this book always gets to me.  This time it was the effort of the eldest to be good when she couldn't be always, as she struggles to help her mother through her father's mysterious disappearance.  I wish I knew if any young people read Nesbit any more, or if this would be a good read ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64490034">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm convinced that the best fiction in the world was written for people between the ages of 7 and 13. This is one of my favorite books ever. So right now, I'm rereading this to the kids at bedtime. I'm not sure who is enjoying it more - them or me. The overall story is enjoyable (wonderful), but the...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/21894746">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Some how I missed the memo that this is not much more than a picture book. My edition was a picture book. I really enjoyed the story. It was sweet, and took about 20 minutes to read. <br/><br/>I really hope that life was this simple and pure once for some people. I hope it still is for children. ...]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Logan loved this. I can't wait to read him the other Nesbit books. This one actually isn't my favorite, but I thought he'd like it since he loves trains and it's a good introduction to Nesbit's style and how deftly and realistically she handles children and their relationships. ]]></body>
