About the author

Wilbert Vere Awdry, OBE, better known as the Rev. W. Awdry, was an English clergyman, railway enthusiast and children's author, and creator of Thomas the Tank Engine, who starred in Awdry's acclaimed Railway Series.

The characters that would make Awdry famous, and the first stories featuring them, were invented in 1943 to amuse his son Christopher during a bout of measles. The first book (The Three Railway Engines) was published in 1945, and by the time Awdry stopped writing in 1972, The Railway Series numbered 26 books. Christopher subsequently added further books to the series.

You might be asking, "how can a train get lost at sea?" Well, after reading this about 50 times in two days, I can tell you: I'm not exactly sure.

Once again a nice Thomas and Friends book. In this one a rescue center is being build and Thomas has to cross the river-ocean on a raft. He gets lost and stranded on an island. He finds some new friends that help him and his old friends at the docks sees his smoke and helps rescue him and his friends.

Not by Awdry - the story is a bit bizarre.
