The Railway Children is a children's book by Edith Nesbit, originally serialised in The London Magazine during 1905 and first published in book form in 1906. It has been adapted for the screen several times, of which the 1970 film version is the best known. The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography credits Oswald Barron, who had a deep affection for Nesbit, with having provided the plot.
The setting is thought to be inspired by Edith's walks to Chelsfield railway station close to where she lived, and her observing the construction of the railway cutting and tunnel between Chelsfield and Knockholt.

In Search of a Northern Soul
This is a travelogue/memoir through space and time, from the seaside resorts of Whitley Bay and Tynemouth and the shipyards of the river Tyne in my childhood years of the 1950's and 1960's, to the 19th century coalfields of County Durham and on to the smugglers and coastguards of the far north east coast. I enlist the help of my ancestors, my genetic memories and a host of characters encountered on the way to help me discover if my northern blood sings to me of home. It is a light, humourous adventure, with a sprinkling of existential thoughts for good measure. Comments in the margins are welcome, and if you like it please do vote!Complete

The Case of The Orange Vial
In Honor of SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE By PRINCE NIOGI Preface In the time-honored tradition of detective fiction, I offer this tale not merely as a story of crime and deduction, but as a humble tribute to the ingenuity and brilliance of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The streets of London, shrouded in fog and mystery, have long served as the stage for tales of observation, intellect, and human complexity. This account, "The Case of Orange Vial," is written for the lovers of meticulous reasoning and suspense, for those who delight in the subtle details hidden in plain sight, and for the spirit of Sherlock Holmes that continues to inspire generations of readers and writers alike. It is my hope that, as you journey through these pages, you will not only follow the twists and turns of the investigation but also appreciate the craft of observation and deduction the very legacy that Doyle has left us. May this story entertain, challenge, and honor the art of the detective.
