The Reverend Awdry created Thomas the Tank Engine for his son, Christopher Awdry, who continued his father's work by writing a further 14 books.

Christopher Awdry's first Thomas book for 10 years is also being published by Egmont in September 2007.

The numbers one through ten are introduced via a railroad setting.
