An Apple Books Classic edition.

Edith Nesbit’s beloved novel captures the magical enchantment of childhood. Siblings Bobbie, Peter, and Phyllis live a very comfortable life until their father disappears and they’re forced to move with their mother to a small country home near a train station. Despite their impoverished circumstances and their mother’s stress, the children never stop pursuing joy—and adventure. Between preventing a train accident, rescuing a Russian soldier, and befriending everyone in town, their days are full…even before they embark on their most important quest yet: finding their father.

Set in the charming English countryside, this story will make you feel nostalgic for simpler times.

    This book was written very well but I was disappointed in the fact that you wouldn't continue the story at the end. Other than that your book was absolutely amazing !!!

    This book was really nice to read , but I don't think this as very exciting. And felt some lagging in the middle and no clarity in the climax
