Thomas the Tank Engine has been delighting generations of children for over 70 years. It all began as a story made up by the Reverand W. Awdry to entertain his son when he had measles. Now millions of people across the world have grown up with the tales of Sodor Island, enchanted by the adventures of Thomas and his friends, Percy, Gordon, and Toby, and all the other engines that work on the Fat Controller's railway. Have you collected all the adventures in the Railway Series? Thomas the Tank Engine; Troublesome Engines; James the Red Engine; Tank Engine Thomas Again; and, The Three Railway Engines.

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. Thomas fans will be delighted to see all of Christopher Awdry's stories beautifully reproduced and printed for the first time since 1996. Christopher Awdry's first Thomas book for 10 years is also being published by Egmont in September 2007.

Henry the green engine hates the rain and won't come out of his tunnel. But when the mighty Gordon breaks down, it's up to Henry to save the day.

Henry the Green Engine has now recovered from his silly habit of staying inside tunnels whenever it rains, but he is still causing trouble to that strict but kind-hearted Fat Controller. All turns out well, however, and Henry has new and refreshing adventures with his fellow engines Thomas, Gordon, Edward, James and Percy.

Every engine on Sodor knows, it's not about how fast he goes, or whether he is big or small, there are jobs for engines, one and all. Meet Henry, the number 3 engine on Sir Topham Hatt's railway. Read about his jobs, his adventures and his friends!
