The Railway Children

It is so refreshing to read a children's story sometimes. This one has all the makings of something that is woven through a time that, rather sadly, is not around anymore: children who Wander around being kind to a Mother with this capital letter and worry about a Father who is gone and left everyone pauper. They make tons of friends because they are sweet, and naive, and honorable, and there is a bit that actually made me cry (Perks' birthday). These are the moments when I do think of having children and surrounding them with books and love.
