Beschreibung

In "The Railway Children," Edith Nesbit crafts a timeless tale that intertwines adventure, familial love, and social justice against the backdrop of Edwardian England. The narrative follows the lives of three children'ÄîRoberta, Peter, and Phyllis'Äîwho move to a countryside cottage after their father is wrongfully imprisoned. With a blend of whimsical storytelling and poignant social commentary, Nesbit explores themes of resilience and community through the children's encounters with the railway workers and their efforts to uncover the truth behind their father's plight. The book's illustrated version enhances its charm, vividly capturing the enchanting world of childhood and the picturesque setting, making it accessible and engaging for contemporary readers. Edith Nesbit, a pioneer in children's literature, was deeply influenced by her own childhood experiences and her convictions in socialism. As a co-founder of the Fabian Society, Nesbit infused her narratives with advocacy for social reform, particularly in illustrating the stark contrasts between class divisions. Her background in literature and her active involvement in progressive movements provided the fertile ground from which "The Railway Children" emerged, reflecting her desire to inspire empathy among her young audience towards societal issues. This classic literary work is highly recommended for readers of all ages, particularly those who cherish stories that celebrate the triumph of human spirit and the importance of family bonds. Nesbit's skillful narrative and her ability to seamlessly weave moral lessons into an engaging adventure make it a quintessential text in children's literature, deserving of a place on every bookshelf.

Old King Cole was a merry old soul, 
And a merry old soul was he; 
He called for his pipe and he called for his bowl 
And he called for his fiddlers three 
"OLD KING COLE was not always a king, nor was he born a member of any royal family. It was only chance—"hard luck" he used to call it—that made him a king at all. He had always been a poor man, being the son of an apple peddler, who died and left him nothing but a donkey and a fiddle. But that was enough for Cole, who never bothered his head about the world's goods, but took things as they came and refused to worry about anything." and so begins the story of how this happy soul became the king of a country by accident.
