The Railway Carriage Child is the autobiography of a child raised in a pair of Great Eastern Railway carriages, built in 1887, converted to living accommodation in the 1920s and home to Wendy's family to the present day. Set in the Cambridgeshire fens, this story not only gives a personal account of an unusual childhood but chronicles the social history of this ever changing part of England. With a strong topographical background, it introduces some colourful characters and takes us back to the quieter times of the early and mid 20th century.
