It’s Christmas in Edwardian England. The carols are playing and the halls are decked. Siblings Bobbie, Peter and Phyllis are having an absolute hoot. But when their father is whisked away under dark and mysterious circumstances, the festive cheer is rapidly snuffed out. They must leave behind the comfort they know and move to a cold, damp cottage in the Yorkshire hills.

As this adventurous trio adapt to their new surroundings, they find themselves enchanted by the local railway and its collection of larger than life inhabitants.
Amidst fighting fires, saving lives and getting more than reasonably dirty, the children never cease to think of their father. What really happened to him? And will they ever spend another Christmas together?

Don’t miss this heartwarming tale of family bonds, jeopardy, and how friendship and loyalty can help you find your way home. Based on E. Nesbit’s classic children’s tale, this is the perfect treat this Christmas to spread magic and joy.
