The Thomas the Tank Engine Man: The life of Reverend W. Awdry
The enchanting biography of Reverend W. Awdry, a devoted pastor and family man, who adored trains. He started to tell stories about Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends, in order to entertain his son Christopher. Those stories have gone on to entertain generations of children around the world. A convinced pacifist, Awdry was thrown out of one curacy and denied another during the Second World War, because of his beliefs. He was a man of courage, who believed that you should live by certain rules. He built his imaginary world on the island of Sodor on these rules, and showed how those who transgressed them would always be 'punished, but never scrapped', as he said. The Thomas the Tank Engine Man is a charming biography and a fascinating insight into the life of Reverend W. Awdry.

I can remember having the train books read to me when I was a child in the 1950s and I also enjoyed reading them myself once I had learned to read. This book tells the story of how the Rev W V Awdry came to write them and get them published at a time when there were so many war time restrictions on printing and publishing that few new authors managed to get into print. Today seventy years later the books are still delighting new generations of children.
What came over to me very strongly from reading this book is what a charming and likeable man Wilbert Awdry was. He had a strong sense of humour and delighted in writing doggerel to mark any and every occasion. His parishioners loved him as did the children who read his books.
A lot of this book is about the books themselves and how they came to be written as well as the real incidents which provided inspiration for the stories. The books are set on the imaginary island of Sodor and Wilbert Awdry and his brother George set about creating every aspect of the island and its population. Eventually a fold out map of the Island of Sodor was published to complement the books themselves.
This book is an updated edition of the work which was first published in 1995. Wilbert Awdry died in 1997 and his son, Christopher has written some later books to add to the series. This biography also details the arguments and discussions involved before the books were televised first in the 1980s. It also covers some of the criticisms made of style and quality of the books themselves. I think what critics fail to take into account is that the stories are very moral and show a world which is fair where the guilty are punished but rehabilitated and never scrapped!
This is a portrait of a marvellous but unassuming man who created a whole imaginary world and delighted generations of children and adults with simple stories of engines misbehaving. I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley for review purposes.

Sibley manages the rare quality of an affectionate biography that also doesn't skip over the flaws, trials, and tribulations but he doesn't linger over them either.

I picked this up from my local library after discovering it by chance. I read through it quickly as I couldn't put it down. The creator of Thomas the Tank Engine had an incredible and adventurous journey through his life. Starting off as a clergyman in a church and then went onto achieve fame as a children's writer. I hadn't heard about his life before as I just knew Thomas as a TV show from my childhood. His life story is full of as much adventures and thrills as the adventures of Thomas and his friends on the Island of Sodor had. I shall be sure to pick up and keep a copy of this book to myself. It made me realise the value of Thomas the Tank Engine in my life.

This was a real treat. Thomas the Tank Engine was a big part of my childhood and at one time I had the whole series of books (since replaced with an omnibus version). Loved the stories and loved the pictures. "Presently a bell rang in the signal box, and a man came running, 'James is off the line!'"
This book charts the life of Rev Awdry, his ancestors, childhood, calling and vocation before the focus turns hard on his writing career. Lots of interest around the development of the books, particularly the tensions with the early artists who were insufficiently adept at the technical aspects for the author's liking. I found this book hard to put down.

As a fan of the Railway Series I did find this an interesting read.
It’s competently researched and written.
Neither hugely inspiring or exceptional, I enjoyed reading about Awdry’s Victorian childhood and how his Thomas books came into being.
The recap of some of the Thomas stories throughout became opportunities for me to fast forward.
I’d have been interested to hear more of Rev Awdry’s faith. But perhaps there wasn’t more.
My review probably matches my thoughts about this book. Not bad but not great.

I really feel this book could have been heavily edited and shortened. No doubt very well researched and detailed but way to much banality and very mundane information thrown at the reader. No doubting the authors admiration for his subject though.

As a long standing fan/reader/collector of the ORIGINAL railway books it was extremely interesting to find out about the man and his sometime struggles to get his books printed as he wanted them. Some real in depth facts and history and very readable.

Say, this is really a good book. Finally i get to know bout Awdry's history and his Railway Series

The book starts of slowly with a detailed description of rev. Awdry's ancestry but gets going into an interesting description of the history of Thomas and the inspiration behind the stories.

I did not request Brian Sibley's reissue of his 1994 biography The Thomas The Tank Engine Man because of nostalgia. Our son was too old to be a fan of The Thomas the Tank Engine cartoon series and we read the books. I requested it because the description said Rev. Awdry was a pacifist pastor who during WWII was removed from his curacy because of his stance. I wanted to know more about this man.
Rev. Wilbert Awdry's deep love affair with steam engines began in childhood because of his father's deep interest. Awdry passed this love on to his son Christopher-- a three generation obsession.
Awry made up the stories about train engines who acted like little children to entertain Christopher when he was ill. Awdry then made model trains based on the characters. He was encouraged by his wife to publish the stories. They were beloved by children. When he gave up writing--after over 100 stories--his son later took up pen and wrote more Engine books.
Sibley has a deep knowledge and love of his subject. We learn how each story was conceived and developed, the artists who illustrated the book, Awdry's insistence on accuracy, and reader's reactions to the story. The stories were based on real incidents and verisimilitude was foremost, both in story and in illustration.
The book starts with a detailed genealogy. Awry is given no psychological treatment, his spiritual concerns are not explored in depth. But if one reads between the lines one can imagine another layer.
Awdry was uncertain of a career until his time at Oxford when he decided to follow in his father's footsteps. After earning his theology degree he spent three years teaching in Jerusalem where he met his future wife. After his return to England he was as assistant pastor. Awdry's older brother had been killed in the Great War and Awry was a pacifist. When WWII came to Britain and Awdry maintained his pacifist stance he was asked to leave his position.
The Church of England does not have a call system (where a church seeks and employs a pastor as they desire) but an appointment system (pastoral assignments made at discretion of the Bishop). Awdry had a wife and child to support and no job. The Birmingham Bishop was also a pacifist and offered Awdry a parish. It became the birthplace of Thomas the Tank Engine.
In 1946 the Awdrys moved to Elsworth and Knapwell. The vicarage was sadly neglected. The family split up for months while the house was made fit for their habitation. They were not pleasant years in Awdry's ministry and writing the Engine series was a saving grace. Seven years later he moved to Emneth.
Sometimes Awdry had to do everything himself, from lighting the stoves to heat the church to clearing the chimney of a parishioner. His wife Margaret taught in the Sunday school. Wilbert loved children and started a Junior Church. He rounded up children in his 12-seater van and brought them to the Vicarage for instruction. The morality of the Engine books was based in his theology. He gave responsibilities to the children, explained faith and church with stories--imagined and true-- that were accessible to the children. He always demonstrated that faith was part of every day life.
After twenty years in the parish ministry Awdry retired in 1965. The income from his 26 books was finally enough to live on, about 1000 pounds a year.
Having lived in a parsonage for well over 30 years I am quite intimate with the trials and challenges of pastoral ministry. Pastors are under constant scrutiny and criticized for things done and things undone. Expectations are unrealistic. There are no office hours. It is a round the clock job. I remember waking up in the middle of the night and finding my husband gone, the car gone. He had gotten an emergency call to the hospital and bedside of a dying parishioner. I am amazed that Awdry wrote 25 books while working in the parish and raising his family.
When Sibley asked Awdry about his personal philosophy he replied that this is God's world and disobeying His rules brings trouble on ourselves and others. His characters willfully erred and had to accept the punishment, but where never "scrapped." Forgiveness and redemption and another opportunity to become a "really useful engine" is always available.
Awdry said he wanted his epitaph to say, "He helped people to see God in the ordinary things of life, and he made children laugh."
This was the man I was hoping to discover.

"Do You Know Anything About The Thomas The Tank Engine Man?"
The author of this biography, Brian Sibley, mentions that all his work on the life of the great man got started with a phone call. He was asked simply, "Do you know anything about the Thomas the Tank Engine man?" THE THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE MAN is a fascinating, updated biography of the kindly man who created the "Railway Series." Of course, that man was Reverend Wilbert Audrey. The author did in fact become a clergyman in the Church of England. For many years, he was able to continue his work as a clergyman while also writing the children's books.
As I read, I realized that the reverend turned out to be in some ways exactly the man that I thought he would be. He really did love trains. Of course, he had a big train layout in the attic that he was forever working (playing?) on. His model train layout, however, differed in one respect from the children's books. The reverend's model train layout did not have faces painted on the engines, like of course all of the characters in the novels did.
Perhaps the biggest surprise to me when reading this book was in regards to the illustrations. It turns out that there were numerous discussions for years to try to get the illustrations just right. The publisher just couldn't find someone to get it right. It got to the point where the author had to write little notes to guide the next illustrator on how to do the artwork. Of course, finally they found a cooperative artist who did a very good job on it.
It's interesting to read about how the very first book in the Railway Series got started. It was called the "Three Railway Engines." It wasn't originally written for publication at all; rather, it was written just as a story to read to his son, Christopher. What's especially endearing is that as the author got older, his son Christopher actually took up the writing, and continued the series with more stories of his own.
It was almost an accident that the series got published. His wife, Margaret Audrey, "persisted with her idea that Wilbert should do something about his stories." Years later his wife reflected, "I did rather push it, I think, because I did feel that they were good - and, of course unusual." Well, it was certainly lucky for millions of children that his wife did "push" it.
Like other authors who were destined to become famous, the author's stories were actually rejected on numerous times at first: "It was not easy to find a publisher for the stories." In later years, after the books became a huge hit, the publisher actually felt so guilty for paying such a low price for the stories, that the firm sent him the bonus check. The publisher "had decided that he was going to make an exgratia payment out of the profits from the book sales."
When the reverend's son, Christopher, wrote his own first Thomas the Tank Engine story, he dedicated to work to his father. This was especially meaningful because, of course, the very first Thomas book ever written have been addressed, "Dear Christopher." Now, 36 years later the son was writing the letter to the Father.
One surprising fact is that that Rev. Audrey not only published numerous children stories, he also published a serious, spiritual book on prayer. It was called, "Our Child Begins to Pray," and is a manual to help guide children in their prayer life.
√ All in all, THE THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE MAN is an interesting read, full of fun stories about the kind man who created such wonderful stories for children. I personally have fun recollections of reading many of these stories to my children, as well as watching them on TV.

The problem for me with this otherwise well-researched and affectionately written biography was that there were simply too many trains. An occupational hazard, you might say, in a book about the creator of Thomas the Tank Engine. However, the trains overshadow the life here. Yes, they were a passion for the Reverend Awdry, but we don’t need to know quite so much detail about his model train layouts and the type of engines he liked to play with on miniature railways. Nor do we need quite so much about the stories in the Thomas books themselves. If we want to know the intricacies of plot and characterisation we can read them for ourselves. What the reader wants, surely, in a biography is the life of the subject, and this I felt was quite cursorily dealt with at times, while Sibley hastened back to the plot of the latest Thomas offering. And then there was far too much background detail. If the Reverend Awdry was appointed to a new parish, Sibley gives us the history of that parish. In contrast to the lack of detail about Awdry himself we get pages at the beginning about his parents and grandparents. There is simply too much explication in general. When his daughter is born he sends a telegram to the grandmother in the baby’s voice– “ARRIVED SAFELY STOP MOTHER WELL STOP VERONICA”. Sibley comments…”obviously Veronica’s father had lent a helping hand.” Really? So the newborn didn’t compose the telegram herself? On another occasion Awdry recalls his publisher writing to him “The book is selling so fast it frightens me!” This comment, Sibley helpfully tells us, may well have been tongue-in-cheek. Is that so? I’d never have guessed. And all the exclamation marks! They pepper the text on nearly every page! They give the narrative such a breathless feel! So irritating! And mostly unnecessary! So yes, I did enjoy learning a little about Awdry, his writings and his family – but I still feel as though I need a considered and analytical biography. This one sadly wasn’t it.

I picked this book up in the library because I saw the pictures on the cover, and having never read a biography I thought 'why not?' I remember having the Thomas the Tank Engine books read to me as a kid and them being the first books I wanted to be able to read on my own. I was fascinated to learn of the events behind those stories and about the man who wrote them. It really gave me a new appreciation for them and the thought and effort put into the process. Now I'm going to have to pull out those old books and read them again.
Probably my favourite book of 2015.

A comprehensive review of the author of the Thomas the Tank books beginning with his family and continuing to present day. I was impressed by the thoroughness of Brian Sibley's research and his involvement with the Awdry family. Sibley presents both the positive and negatives of this series. There are family photos and illustrations from the books so that one has an overview of the history of the writings of the series. Although my grandchildren are not fans of Thomas, I have been interested in the series because I have a love of trains.

This, along with the rarer "The Island of Sodor: Its People, History and Railways", is probably the must-have for anyone who wants to find out about the development of the Railway Series, the evolution of its characters (including, of course, Thomas the Tank Engine) and the life and influences of the man behind it.
May 31, 2016
I thoroughly enjoyed learning all about the life of the man who created Thomas the Tank Engine. All three of my boys have loved the books, the character, and the TV adaptations, so it seemed fitting to learn more.
October 12, 2016
I love Thomas, and the story behind his creator is fascinating. Any fan of the lovable little blue train and his friends will not be disappointed reading this heartwarming biography.
