Edith Nesbit is an author of classical literature.  She is very creative.  The books we have read combine fantasy and adventure.  She was born in 1858.  I am entertained by her books.  She brings you into the story and makes you care about the characters.

We are finishing the Railway Children soon.  I read aloud from a free internet site:http://www.classicbookshelf.com/library/e_nesbit/.  Many of her books are available here.

It is interesting how this author mentions God with reverence and respect.  I appreciate that.  She mentions a dead uncle that is in heaven.  Edith Nesbit

My favorite line from today is "Oh," said Bobbie, vaguely, "if everybody thought of everything, there'd be nothing left for anybody else to think about."

My children were laughing.  The children in the story take responsibility for the people around them.  They make decisions about how to help people and they do it.  It is very impressive.  I hope my children would take the leadership to take care of someone who needed help.  I want them to be kind and compassionate to one another.  Ephesians 4:32  They know this verse by memory.  I pray they act accordingly.

I appreciate this story.  My children enjoy the adventures of these children.  After each chapter, they want me to read another and another.  It is such a joy to spend time like this with my children.  They are writing about the story as I Blog about it.
