Product description
Roberta, Peter and Phyllis don’t realise how happy their life in London is until their beloved father goes away unexpectedly. They move to a simple country cottage with Mother, and befriend the local railway porter, who goes by the name of Perks. But even though they have many exciting adventures, the mystery remains: where is Father, and will he ever return? E. Nesbit’s classic story, introduced by Jacqueline Wilson.

on 27 February 2011A 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.
