Descrizione
About the book: "The Railway Children" by Edith Nesbit, originally serialized in 1905 and later published as a children's book, follows a family moving to "The Three Chimneys" near a railway after the father is falsely accused of espionage. The children Roberta, Peter, and Phyllis befriend an old gentleman who helps prove their father's innocence, leading to a heartwarming reunion. Inspired by walks to Grove Park nature reserve, the story intertwines themes of friendship, justice, and compassion. It possibly draws influence from the Dreyfus Affair and features a Russian exile, symbolizing real-life dissidents. The book also references the Russo-Japanese War, placing its setting in 1905.
