Amazon Review

It's over fifty years since the publication of the first Railway Series stories by the Rev. W. Awdry. To celebrate, the publishers have reissued them in six special books, each containing four famous tales of Thomas and his friends. Larger and chunkier than the originals, these books feature all the original text and illustrations and are redesigned in a way that makes every spread unique. Easier to hold and look at, this format is ideal for parents and children to share together.

Contained in this volume: "Thomas and Gordon", "Thomas's Train", "Thomas and the Trucks", "Thomas and the Breakdown Truck". (Ages 3 and over) -- Philippa Reece

Synopsis

A redesigned collection of four stories featuring Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends. In the RAILWAY series. Illustrated in full colour.

A great start to reading The Railway series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 March 2013

Verified Purchase

I bought this book to 'test the water' to see if my daughter and I would enjoy the books on which Thomas & Friends is based. Well, we thoroughly enjoyed this book, and on the strength of this book, we bought the box set and have not been disappointed.

This book will appeal to anyone with young children who are fans of the TV series. It introduces and develops the engine's characters, whilst containing in the moral of the stories some good old-fashioned values, such as obedience. The language used is of it's day but still quite modern and easy for young readers and older readers to understand.

The book itself is hardback, hard-wearing and wil withstand the abuse children sometimes give books.

A wonderful introduction to the Railway Series set of books.

First Railway Series book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 January 2004

Sorry, what's Phillipa Reece on about? Her comments are confounded with some modern TV-inspired title. This is the Original, No. 1 of the Railway Series by the Rev W Awdry. We are introduced to Edward, Gordon and Henry in that order, but NOT Thomas! He had to wait until book no. 2!

The Start

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 August 2007

The first book about The Fat Controller's Railway (thought hear his The Fat Director)is a true classic. Meet Edward the Blue Engine, Gordon the Big Engine and Henry the Green Engine (At the end he gets painted blue.)

The stories are:

Edward's Day Out
Edward and Gordon
The Sad Story of Henry
Edward, Gordon and Henry
