In the early 1940s, a loving father crafted a small blue wooden
engine for his son, Christopher. The stories that this father,
Reverend W. Awdry, made up to accompany this wonderful toy
were first published in 1945. He continued to create new adventures
and characters until 1972, when he retired from writing. Reverend
Awdry died in 1997 at the age of 85.
