By Rev. W. Awdry, Richard Courtney (Illustrator)
A steam engine's fishing adventure leads to unexpected trouble.
Thomas, a curious steam engine, longs to join his friends fishing by the stream. When he runs out of steam, his driver uses the stream to refill his boiler, turning Thomas into an unexpected fishing spot. Will this playful mishap derail his plans, or will Thomas find a way to enjoy the fun? Dive into this charming tale of adventure and discovery.
Thomas often sees his young friends standing by the stream fishing. It looks like so much fun that Thomas wants to go fishing too. One day, he runs out of steam and his driver fills his boiler from the stream. And soon, Thomas’ boiler is what the driver is fishing in! In the early 1940s, a loving father crafted a small, blue, wooden engine for his son, Christopher. The stories that this father, the Reverend W Awdry, made up to accompany this wonderful toy were first published in 1945.
