Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

God, I love The Railway Children.

I rolled my eyes a bit when Peter is given the lecture about being a man and the girls are soft tenderhearted rabbits. But I cry at the end. It's also interesting, the kids are about 8, 10, and 12 - they seem *much* younger in some ways.

Wasn't E. Nesbit quite the sexy babe as well as having the scandalous, revolutionary lifestyle?

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

No, Edith Nesbit was herself rather an extravagant figure, a founder of the Fabian society and follower of Wm. Morris, in an open marriage, smoking and drinking and swanning about in the Victorian era.
