HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. '…when
the Green Dragon tore shrieking out of the mouth of its dark lair,
which was the tunnel, all three children stood on the railing and waved
their pocket-handkerchiefs without stopping to think whether they were
clean handkerchiefs or the reverse.' When their father is
mysteriously sent away, Roberta, Peter and Phyllis have to leave London
with their mother to live in a cottage in the countryside. Finding
comfort in the nearby railway station and friendship in Perks the Porter
and the Station Master, the children watch every day for the passing
London train. Every day they wave at the same old Gentleman on the
train, not knowing that he may hold the key to their father's
whereabouts.
