Wilbert Vere Awdry

    June 15, 1911 – March 21, 1997

    Wilbert Vere Awdry, known as Rev. W. Awdry, was an English clergyman, railway enthusiast, and children's author. His most enduring legacy stems from characters he first invented in 1943 to entertain his son during an illness. These narratives center on the lives and adventures of steam engines and their friends, with Awdry's style often highlighting moral lessons and the magic of the railway. His works continue to enchant readers globally with their timeless appeal and charm.
