Island of Sodor: Its People, History and Railways, by Rev. W. Awdry and George Awdry. Illustrated by Clive Spong. Kaye & Ward, London, 1987 (1 st edition). Hard Cover. This is a book about Sodor, dealing with its history, geography and industry in far greater depth than could ever be discussed in the Railway Series books themselves. Most of the background information on the places, people, railways and engines in the Railway Series comes from this book. The book came about as a result of the Reverend W. Awdry's desire to create a credible and consistent world for his stories. This began with maps of Sodor, and was then expanded upon. Awdry and his brother George, who was the librarian of the National Liberal Club, worked out details of Sodor, producing between them a comprehensive set of notes. These notes were compiled and published in this book. Contains biographical details of characters of importance in Sodor's history, numerous entries regarding towns, villages, stations and other locations around the island and a section on the engines that run the lines. Section of black and white photos, detailed maps of the railway lines and track plans of some stations. Numerous fascinating facts throughout - the truth about Henry 1 and Henry 2, Sir Topham Hatt senior and junior and the latter's association with W Stanier and the Crewe read more
