About the Author
In 1944, a country vicar, the Reverend W Awdry, wrote the stories he had been telling his two young sons about a group of engines with very recognizable personalities. In 1945, the first book featuring Thomas and the other Really Useful Engines was published, and in the 60 years since, the tales of these friendly engines have become beloved classics around the world.

Six hardback books with the classic Thomas stories,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Railway Series Boxed Set (Hardcover)
Wow these are nice little hardback books and we are really enjoying them. There are six books in the collection and they are about Toby (my personal favorite), Henry, Percy, Gordon, James and, of course, Thomas the Tank Engine.
If you are looking at this collection you, no doubt, are familiar with Rev. Awdry's stories so I will only add that the pictures in this series are nice and the books are a good size for 3 year old hands and the paper seems pretty strong so far, so that none of the pages are either wrinkled yet or torn. A nice way to bridge away from the television series or the tapes into something that is more "useful"...reading! We give it 6 thumbs up. Mom, dd, and ds.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Railway Series Boxed Set (Hardcover)
My three year old loves all things Thomas and he enjoys these stories as well. As the original stories they are less sugar-coated than the later picture books. Most focus on a train who misbehaves then gets his comeuppance. The illustrations are beautiful.
The physical packaging is quite nice. Both the box and the books have stood up to pummeling by my son. The stories included are: * Thomas and Gordon, Thomas' Train, Thomas and the Trucks, Thomas and the Breakdown Train * Coal, The Flying Ripper, Gordon's Whistle, Percy and the Trousers, Henry's Sneeze * Toby and the Stout Gentleman, Thomas in Trouble, Dirty Objects, Mrs. Kyndley's Christmas * James and the Top-Hat, James and the Boot-lace, Troublesome Trucks, James and the Express * Off the Rails, Leaves, Down the Mine, Paint Pots and Queens * Percy and the Signal, Duck Takes Charge, Percy and Harold, Percy's Promise

Excellent choice for kids who love Thomas,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Railway Series Boxed Set (Hardcover)
My 3 year old son loves all the books in this set! The books are hard covered and quite sturdy and the size is very good for kids to hold. The stories in all the books are not too long and fun to read. Although some of the words in the stories are less commonly used words even for adult, they didn't cause my son to lose interest in the stories. Highly recommended to parents if your kids love Thomas & Friends.
