Reviewed by Elizabeth M. (Rhode Island), June 27, 2005 This is the sweetest story! The children are unselfish and helpful in every way. The love and respect the children have for the parents is wonderful, and they are willing to work hard without complaining. A wonderful book! Write a review of The Railway Children, Unabridged
