    Roberta, Peter and Phyllis are three children that have great adventures to do with the railway near their cottage-three chimneys. I would recommend as an age rating 10-14

    I have read this book and you just want to read on I love it that it is a classic I feel like its your own book. I love Bobbie and how she manages when she found out about her father you will find out if you read the book I would love to live in the countryside next to a railway and see the steam trains going to and forth.I love the book!!!

    A classic story of children that are out to find adventure when they move into the country after their Dad goes without an explanation, what more could you ask for? There is a sense of mystery, love for their mother and friendship that is always being built. I thought it was a really moving book with a really nice companionship between the children. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
