АНГЛИЙСКИЙ ЯЗЫК 10 класс Тема урока: The Railway Children
Edith Nesbit (1858 – 1924) Edith Nesbit was born in Surrey. After she got married in 1880, she started writing children’s poems and stories to help support her large family. Her writing was very popular. Her well-known stories include “Five Children and It” (1902) and “The Phoenix and the Carpet” (1904 ). Altogether, she published more than 40 novels before her death in 1924. Nesbit’s most famous and well-loved story is “The Railway Children” (1906). The novel is about the adventures of a middle class Edwardian family living near a railway station in the suburbs of London at the turn of the 19th century. In 1970, the book was made into an extremely successful film.
They were not railway children to begin with. Mother did not spend all her time paying dull calls to dull ladies, and sitting dully at home waiting for dull ladies to pay calls to her. These three lucky children always had everything they needed: pretty clothes, a lovely nursery with heaps of toys and a Mother Goose wallpaper. You will think that they ought to have been very happy. The dreadful change came quite suddenly. Peter had a birthday – his tenth. Its charm lasted in its full perfection for exactly three days.
