The Railway Children
When Roberta, Peter and Phyllis' dad is suddenly and unexpectedly sent to prison, the children are suddenly pulled away from their comfortable suburban life. They move with their mother to the "Three Chimneys," a countryside house that sits near the railway. As the children settle into their new life, the railway allows them to meet and befriend a series of characters, some of whom need their help, and some whom might just be able to help them.

Edith Nesbit
**Edith Nesbit** (1858–1924) est une écrivaine britannique, souvent surnommée *« la reine de la littérature jeunesse »*. Pionnière du roman pour enfants, elle a marqué l’histoire littéraire en écrivant des histoires **du point de vue des enfants**, avec un réalisme, un humour et une fantaisie qui restent captivants aujourd’hui. Auteure d’une quarantaine d’ouvrages, elle est aussi connue pour son engagement socialiste et son influence sur des générations d’auteurs jeunesse. Ses œuvres, comme *La Prestigieuse Ligue des Passibon* ou *Les Mésaventures de l’illustre famille Bastable*, continuent d’être redécouvertes et célébrées pour leur modernité et leur charme intemporel.
