The Railway Children
E. Nesbit's 1906 novel, told at a gentle pace. Steam, embankments and red flannel flags, and three children watching the trains below.
Retold for sleep from The Railway Children by E. Nesbit, first published in 1906 and long out of copyright. The story is Nesbit's; every sentence here is our own.
Clear and grounding, present without weight, a few minutes to come back to the breath and carry on steadier.
