are happy moments, boring moments
and exciting moments. There is anger
and loneliness, and there is
forgiveness, and the thread of
friendship runs through everything,
like rail tracks through the
countryside. Brilliantly rendered by
Danny Parker and Freya Blackwood,
Molly & Mae is a portrait of the most
delightful and emotionally rich train
journey imaginable.

the name of discovery.
