In Victorian England the expansion of railways changed history. Landscapes and cities were transformed and, for the first time, people travelled for miles at unimaginable speeds.

These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover.Train travel was disruptive, fast and sometimes perilous – all the ingredients too of a good short story.

Then there are the perils of travelling alone to somewhere new, possibly in the dark when who knows what crimes and mysteries might unfold.All these narrative tricks play out in this diverting collection. In Margaret Oliphant’s moving story, a young wife escapes her abusive husband when their train leaves without him. In ‘Holding Up a Train’ O. Henry gives an account of the pros and cons of being a train robber and Saki wittily describes a mother’s attempt to control her unruly children.
