Railway Children (version 2 Dramatic Reading)

Book cover
By: (1858-1924)

The Railway Children by E. Nesbit is a heartwarming and captivating novel that follows the adventures of three siblings who move to the countryside after their father is falsely accused of a crime. The children spend their days exploring the surrounding area, making new friends, and trying to clear their father's name.

The characters in this book are well-developed and likable, especially the brave and resourceful Bobbie, the mischievous Peter, and the kind-hearted Phyllis. The relationships between the siblings are portrayed in a realistic and touching way, and their closeness is a central theme throughout the story.

One of the most compelling aspects of the book is the setting. The rural countryside and the nearby railway station provide a picturesque backdrop for the children's adventures. The description of the steam trains and the excitement of watching them pass by adds an element of nostalgia and wonder to the story.

Overall, The Railway Children is a timeless classic that will appeal to readers of all ages. It is a story about family, friendship, and the power of hope in the face of adversity. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a charming and heartfelt read.

Book Description:
Roberta, Peter and Phyllis are suddenly yanked out of their comfortable lives and removed to live in the country with only their mother and to "play at being poor". Will they ever again be allowed to have bread with butter AND jam? Why does mother spend all day frantically writing in her room? And what has happened to their father? The Railway Children is one of Edith Nesbit's best-loved books. It has been made into five films and a musical. The story of three children making friends with everyone around them and doing their best to do good and to be good contains no magic, but the warmth of Nesbit's storytelling permeates the book. - Summary by Beth Thomas and Wikipedia Narrator: Peter YearsleyBobbie: Hannah MaryPeter: Beth ThomasPhyllis: Jasmin SalmaMother: TJ BurnsAlbert Perks : axcelStation Master: Tomas PeterDr Forrest: GRussThe Old Gentleman: Algy PugBill , Oldest Workman: David LawrenceJimmy The Hound, Jabez Inglewood, Clergyman, Workman 3: Eva DavisFather: Tom GellerMrs Viney, Spot , Draper's Boy: FoonMrs Ransome , Ruth , Voice 3, Maria , The Hare : Leanne YauCart Man, Jim the Fireman, Farmer, Workman 1, Signalman, Blacksmith: NemoYoung Man, Foreman: LikeManyWatersMr. Szezcpansky: tovarischBill the Bargee: Son of the ExilesMrs Perks, Workman 2, Bailiff: BhavyaMaster Perks: TriciaGAudio edited by: linny, and Devorah Allen
