The Thomas the Tank engines stories were created by the Reverend Wilbert Awdry, whowas born in Hampshire in 1911. He grew up close to the railway and was convinced thatthe steam engines all had different personalities. He used to imagine conversationsbetween them. Later when he was grown up and his son Christopher became ill withmeasles, Wilbert invented the Thomas stories to entertain him. Christopher kept askingfor more stories and Wilbert began writing them. The first of the Railway series books waspublished in 1945. Awdry wrote 26 Railway books in total before his son, Christopher,took over the series. There have since been multiple, hugely popular Thomas TV series.The latest is released in 2018 and sees the engines travelling the world!
