The author of the Thomas books was a clergyman, and I'm torn between two thoughts. On the one hand, it's very tempting to believe that they are intended as Christian allegory. On the other, an interpretation along those lines almost inevitably ends with the conclusion that is God. I'm not a Christian, but even I find this a little blasphemous. Or perhaps it just shows that I will never be a Really Useful Engine. Surely someone has done a detailed exegesis? I'll confess that I a The author of the Thomas books was a clergyman, and I'm torn between two thoughts. I'll confess that I am, indeed, very curious about the details. For example, the episode my kids liked most when they were at the appropriate age. They unwisely fill Thomas up with water from the river. He comes over feeling all funny, so they look in his storage tank. But what does it mean? Why can't I see it? View all 7 comments. Mar 18, Andrew rated it really liked it. This was a lot more fun than I thought it would be and what really surprised me was I knew sort of a lot of the stories. I guess they have been retold and referred to so many times that they have filtered through in to my memory and stuck there. So on to the book - this is a gloriously grand collection Thomas the Tank Engine Complete Collection all of the original stories along with the artwork that brought the various engines to life. There are a short afterwards which covers of the Rev Awdry along with the two main artists who ill This was a lot more fun than I thought it would be and what really surprised me was I knew sort of a lot of the stories. There are a short afterwards which covers of the Rev Awdry along with the two main artists who illustrated and brought the island of Sodor and the various engines to life. One thing that did catch me by surprise was that there was such a large Thomas the Tank Engine Complete Collection of engines - now again I thought a lot of the engines were creations of the various TV and toy franchises trying to expand and increase their sales of the various characters but no - a very large number of the engines where originals from the various stories. So like I say when I read the various children books - I still have so much to learn from the classics what ever they are. But why read this book - Thomas the Tank Engine Complete Collection for me it was another connection to my late uncle who to me lived for all things historical and natural history. I remember he had a far more spectacular version of this book and I remember being allowed to carefully read it when I was a small boy when we visited them. Strange how as I read the stories I can see Denis reading them along side me. This took Thomas the Tank Engine Complete Collection a little longer than I thought. Read more like a collection of short stories than a collection on picture books. I use to watch this show as a kid, so it was nice to revisit and to see the show isn't that much different. The stories for some reason relaxed me. I think most of it has to do with the illustrations, this type of story needs pictures. Sep 12, Akash rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: Everyone. This book is the most important book that I have ever read in my entire life. It is also one of the most important thing to me that I own. This was the first book I got in relation to Thomas the Tank Engine. I could go on and on about my backstory with Thomas, but I'm afraid that it would be far too much to write. Thomas the Tank Engine Complete Collection a while, I seem to have had a strange idea that the TV series was adapted into the books. But I am proud to own this book containing the first twenty-six volumes of The Railway Ser Thomas the Tank Engine Complete Collection book is the most important book that I have ever read in my entire life. But I am proud to own this book containing the first twenty-six volumes of The Railway Series. His son, Christopher, has written several more afterwards. Though the book says "Thomas the Tank Engine" on it, these stories are not only about him, but also the rest of the Really Useful Engines on the Island of Sodor, with No. It annoys me to see some of Thomas the Tank Engine Complete Collection reasons that people have given to dislike this book, some along the lines of "the stories are too dark". To be fair, the concept of scrapping is mentioned from time to time, but that is just how the stories were. These are books written by a Christian priest who told the first three stories to his son who had measles. For those who Thomas the Tank Engine Complete Collection the ten-minute episodes are better because they are longer - I'll have you know that the quality of the writing, illustrations, and the lessons of the "5-minute" stories in this collection are astronomically superior some of the episodes we see today. This is not to say that all of the TV stories are not good as there have been some very worthy adaptations from of the books and original stories in the TV series. Even the humor in Awdry's stories, which I find similar to A. Milne's in Winnie the Poohis something that not only children would have a laugh about. Here is an example from Duck and the Diesel Enginefeaturing Duck and the Fat Controller having a chat about the rather stuck-up big engines. TFC: "Duck, did you come up with these [rude] names? If the dome fits -" TFC: "Ahem! Yes, it is referring to a man's rotund stature, but all the same it's a children's book, referring to a fictional controller. Thomas the Tank Engine Complete Collection you prefer, while reading this, just say "Sir Topham Hatt" his actual name in your mind or out loud, if you are reading it. There is nobody whom I would not hesitate to recommend this to. This is the sort of book that parents could read to their children, and still have a great time reading it. These are the types of stories that those children will read and praise when they are older. These are the stories that those children will tell their children. And even if the books stop being published, the legacy will never end. Jul 14, Alistair rated it it Thomas the Tank Engine Complete Collection amazing.

On a study A timeless classic that has influenced many, ever since the first book, 'The Three Railway Engines', was published inwith the second Thomas the Tank Engine Complete Collection in entitled 'Thomas The Tank Engine', the 'Railway Series', or the 'Thomas the Tank Engine stories', as they are now called, has had an impact on the lives of many a child or adult, culminating in the Reverend's son, Christopher, continuing the range with sixteen more books, the beginning of the hit series inand a devoted fanbase. On a study of the text, the characters are simple, and easy for the reader to relate to, while representative of the many personalities of a human, such as cheeky Thomas, boastful Gordon, wise old Edward, and Devious Diesel, while the society is reflective of the period of publication, tothrough the patriarchal figure embodied in Sir Topham Hatt, the Fat Controller. In addition, the series intertwines several times with the real world, with Thomas the Tank Engine Complete Collection engines City of Truro, and Flying Scotsman, both famous record-breaking engines, making appearances. This is accompanied by one of Awdry's characters, Skarloey, revealing that he is the twin brother of , of the in , and how the series deals with the theme of retirement and death, through narratives based on existing issues, such as steam-powered traction being replaced by diesel traction. What is interesting is the manner in which these issues are covered. The issue of being replaced by diesels is often merely hinted at in rivalries in stories such as 'Thomas and Bertie' and 'Percy and Harold'.
