E. Nesbit's The Railway Children
I've been rereading some classic kid's lit while waiting for some library holds to come in; I didn't actually remember previously reading this until I got to the part with the red flannel petticoats (I think I preferred Nesbit's more magic-related stories). Anyway, this story deals with a family whose father goes away (the children don't find out the details till much later in the book, but the reader figures it out fairly early on) and they move to a small house in the country where they befriend local railwaymen and other assorted folk, have some adventures, etc.
