A much-loved children classic, wonderfully illustrated by Peter Bailey, here presented with a section of extra material for young readers.
Roberta, Phyllis and Peter have their comfortable lives in London thrown into disarray by the unexpected disappearance of their father.
They are forced to move to a small cottage in the countryside with their mother, who struggles to make ends meet by writing books.
The children find solace in a stretch of railway track and the station nearby, and befriend.
