Thomas was created by Reverend Wilbert Awdry.

The story was first published in 1945.

Ringo Starr was the first storyteller on Thomas the Tank & Friends’ television series.

80 million books had been sold worldwide by 2001.

Rev. Awdry created these stories to entertain his son who had scarlet fever.

Information

Rev. Awdry wrote the first stories down on available scraps of paper. To add to the story telling, the Rev. Awdry drew simple pictures of steam locomotives on the paper along with the stories. A head on view being the easiest to draw, he drew a row of locomotives standing in an engine shed with a human face and expression on each locomotive's smokebox door.

Mrs. Awdry believed that these children's stories had some merit and so pestered her husband to do something about them. Through a distant cousin a small publisher, Edmund Ward, was found who was interested in these railway stories. The connection was made so suddenly that the Rev. Awdry had to send the stories as they were written on scraps of paper as the original manuscript. The stories were popular and after twenty six books, the Rev. Awdry laid down his pen, only to have it taken up by his son Christopher, who is now continuing to write the stories.
