This item was a complete different edition from what I had ordered. Very disappointed with WOB as I have ordered quite a few books in the past.

Bought for my grandaughter as she was reading this for homework and she wanted to work between computer screen and a printed copy which she was able to do. A lovely old favourite in my eyes although I think the youngsters now don't find the language quite so easy.
This is a beautiful edition, well worth purchasing. The color pictures combined with the title immediately captured the attention of my train-loving nine-year-old. He balked a little at the long chapters, but quickly got over that as he became involved in the story. He loves it!
Fabulous! I can't wait to re-live my childhood reading this with my 6 year old son.
Lovely item and of course a brilliant classic. Binding lovely too.
We, as a family, were having a big outside meet-up, two weeks ago. I chose this for one of my granddaughters, aged 11. She is half-way through it and says that it is very absorbing. Can’t fault the price at £3. Together with one of The Works’appropriately titled notebooks at £2, all 5 of the “lovelies”; aged from 10-15, got a little reunion present, after 5 months of not seeing them. Excellent.
This book took me completely by surprise when it arrived...it is stunningly beautiful;the cover is so lovely,almost padded it is so substantial and the book itself is so beautifully illustrated it is going to be just loved by my niece at Christmas. I highly recommend this to anyone at such great value and am considering re-purchasing for myself. (And I'm definitely no youngster!). It is,however,a classic story and this version just makes it even lovelier for all ages and new young readers will enjoy the discovery of wonderful story.
The film is brilliant family viewing. I bought this book only to see how the film followed the book. It mostly does, there are changes of course which are acceptable. The book is a good read -the language is wonderful.

The Railway Children by Edith Nesbit
When Father goes away with two strangers one evening, the lives of Roberta, Peter and Phyllis are shattered. They and their mother have to move from their comfortable London home to go and live in a simple country cottage, where Mother writes books to make ends meet. However, they soon come to love the railway that runs near their cottage, and they make a habit of waving to the Old Gentleman who rides on it. They befriend the porter, Perks, and through him learn railway lore and much else. They have many adventures, and when they save a train from disaster, they are helped by the Old Gentleman to solve the mystery of their father's disappearance, and the family is happily reunited.
