"The Railway Children" is a children's book by Edith Nesbit, first published
in 1906. The story follows a family who moves from London to a house near a
railway after the father is falsely accused of spying and imprisoned. The
children befriend an old gentleman who helps prove their father's innocence
and reunites the family. The book has been adapted for the screen several
times, including a 1970 film version. The story has also been adapted for
radio and stage productions. The setting is thought to be inspired by Edith
Nesbit's walks to Grove Park nature reserve. The book refers to the Russo-
Japanese War and to attitudes taken by British people to the war, dating the
setting to the spring, summer, and early autumn of 1905. The story has been
accused of plagiarism from "The House by the Railway" by Ada J. Graves. A
footpath in Grove Park, Greater London, is named Railway Children Walk to
commemorate Nesbit's novel.
