Riassunto:

Uno dei classici più popolari di tutti i tempi, con una meravigliosa introduzione dell'autrice di bestseller multimilionari Jacqueline Wilson. Quando il padre viene portato via inaspettatamente, Roberta, Peter, Phyllis e la madre devono lasciare la loro comoda vita a Londra per andare a vivere in un piccolo cottage in campagna. I bambini cercano conforto nella vicina stazione ferroviaria e fanno amicizia con Perks il facchino e il capostazione in persona. Ogni giorno, Roberta, Peter e Phyllis corrono lungo il campo fino ai binari della ferrovia e salutano il treno di Londra in transito, inviando il loro amore al padre. Non sanno che il gentile vecchio gentiluomo passeggero che risponde al saluto ha la chiave della scomparsa del padre. Sempre di E. Nesbit, disponibile in Puffin Books The Phoenix and the Carpet Five Children and It

Informazioni sull?autore:

E Nesbit (Author)
Edith Nesbit was a mischievous child who grew up into an unconventional adult. With her husband, Hubert Bland, she was one of the founder members of the socialist Fabian Society; their household became a centre of the socialist and literary circles of the times. E. Nesbit turned late to children's writing. Her first children's book, The Treasure Seekers, was published in 1899 to great acclaim. Other books featuring the Bastable children followed, and a series of magical fantasy books, including Five Children and It also became very popular. The Railway Children was first published monthly in the London Magazine in 1905, and published as a book in 1906, which has been in print ever since.

Jacqueline Wilson (Introducer)
Jacqueline Wilson wrote her first novel when she was nine years old, and she has been writing ever since. She is now one of Britain's bestselling and most beloved children's authors. She has written over 100 books and is the creator of characters such as Tracy Beaker and Hetty Feather. More than forty million copies of her books have been sold.

As well as winning many awards for her books, including the Children's Book of the Year, Jacqueline is a former Children's Laureate, and in 2008 she was appointed a Dame.

Jacqueline is also a great reader, and has amassed over 20,000 books, along with her famous collection of silver rings.
