sean67's review against another edition

5.0

So this is the first book in the series that become the phenomenon many years later when Thomas the Tank Engine became a series and in this book Thomas is not there (well he is in one picture apparently) but the star is Edward with Gordon and Henry as co-stars.
Great stories and the beginning of a series that has enthralled people for many a year.
To think this was now seventy six years ago when it was released.
Thank you Wilbert Awdry!

I liked how even though Edward was a small engine, he was able to help and befriend the big engines.

Thomas the Tank Engine was my life when I was a kidlet. And I'm p sure the story of Henry being bricked up in a tunnel gave me my abandonment issues.
