About the Books Long before the television series and countless spin-offs, there was the Railway Series - the original collection of stories Reverend Wilbert Awdry wrote for his son Christopher, beginning with The Three Railway Engines in 1945. This complete 26-book set traces the full history of the series, following Thomas, Edward, Henry, Gordon, James, Percy, Toby, Duck and their friends as they steam through the towns, branch lines and hills of Sodor. Each slim hardback volume preserves the charm of the originals: gentle, character-driven stories about hard work, friendship and forgiveness, paired with classic illustrations loved for generations. Unlike adapted editions, this collection presents Awdry's own words as first published, giving readers the authentic Railway Series experience. Perfectly sized for small hands,
