The 1970 film, The Railway Children, was directed by Lionel Jeffries and stars Dinah Sheridan, Jenny Agutter (who had earlier featured in the BBC's 1968 dramatisation of the novel). maybe one of Jenny Agutter's best performances. Not a bad film, but the book is better if you like reading.*
I enjoyed many all her books immensely. She did write some good series.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._Nesbit#Works
Virtually all her works are available as free ebooks as they all ought to be PD (d. 1924).
I've not read The House of Arden and only got (and enjoyed) many of her books as an adult.
EDIT
* I did enjoy The Railway Children Film (shown on TV), so eventually got the DVD. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ra...m)#Development
Incidentally I think the three short stories of Ian Fleming's "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" are better than James Bond. Of course the Child Catcher part was added for the film and probably by Roald Dahl, who worked on the screenplay for a while (may have been sacked). |
Are you sure you have the correct version of
The Railway Children movie? Jenny Agutter was in the 2000 version and in the sequel.
