  • The Railway Series Books by the Rev'd Wilbert V Awdry
    The Awdry Connection with the Talyllyn Railway. The Rev. Wilbert Awdry inherited an interest in railways from his father, the Rev. Vere Awdry, and together with his brother George, became a keen railway modeller. His first book in what was to become “The Railway Series” had been published in 1945, and by 1951 he had written four more. In February that year, someone knowing his interests, sent him an article which had appeared in the Birmingham Mail entitled “EIGHT MILES OF RAILWAY TO PLAY WITH – AND REAL TRAINS - FOR £1 A YEAR”. That railway was the Talyllyn Railway, and Wilbert’s interest was aroused sufficiently to apply for membership of the newly formed Preservation Society: his receipt was numbered 79. Coincidentally, Wilbert had a distant cousin Frank who lived in Tywyn. They had never met, but Wilbert and George had visited Frank’s sisters in Clevedon, Somerset, and had heard stories about the ‘somewhat wayward little railway’ in Tywyn. In August 1952 Wilbert, together with his wife Margaret, son Christopher and daughters Veronica and Hilary, visited the Talyllyn Railway for the first time. On arrival, Wilbert and Christopher went straight to Wharf Station to introduce themselves to Tom Rolt, the General Manager. Wilbert volunteered to do duty as a Guard during the second week of his holiday. The most memorable incident of the week was when he left the Refreshment Lady behind in the Booking Office at Abergynolwyn – the first of many events that Wilbert was to enshrine in future books. It was almost inevitable that, having become a regular visitor and volunteer on the Talyllyn Railway, Wilbert should find a way to write about it in his books.

  • Sheppard 202003722 Thesis WREO.Pdf
    Transports of Delight: Pastoral, Nostalgia and Railway Travel in Post-WWII Genre Fiction Samuel John Sheppard MA by Research University of York English and Related Literature November 2020 Abstract In the mid-twentieth century, Britain’s railways underwent a range of significant developments. A transport network that, in many ways, had not changed substantially since the Edwardian period, was transformed by events such as widespread route closures, a diesel revolution, and the growing popularity of private motoring. This paper aims to examine how the significance of railways in British literature of this period changed as a result, with particular focus upon two areas of genre fiction: crime and detective fiction, and children’s literature. I am particularly concerned with the ideals of heritage and preservation which emerged in Britain in the 1950s and 1960s, and how these encouraged the presentation of railways in a more sentimental light than had previously been seen. Most importantly, the paper examines in depth the genre fiction of the mid-twentieth century, seeking to identify the ways in which the work of authors such as Agatha Christie, Enid Blyton, and the Reverend Wilbert Awdry displays a continuity with, and nostalgia for, the interwar and Edwardian periods. 2 List of Contents Abstract Page 2 List of Contents Page 3 Acknowledgments Page 4 Declaration Page 5 Introduction Page 6 Chapter 1: Page 17 Nostalgia, Anxiety and Transport in Detective Fiction Chapter 2: Page 39 Train Travel, Heritage and Adult Anxiety in Children’s Literature Conclusion Page 62 Works Cited Page 68 3 Acknowledgments I would like to thank my MA supervisors, Dr Nicoletta Asciuto and Dr James Williams, for the support and feedback which they have provided throughout my MA study.
