Duck and the Diesel Engine by Rev Wilbert Vere Awdry
Duck the saddle-tank engine is Great Western and proud of it! In this book, he laughs as a jealous Gordon loses his dome, meets the oily Diesel Engine who gets him into trouble, and has a close shave before finally saving the day.
In the early 1940s, a loving father crafted a small blue wooden engine for his son, Christopher. The stories that this father, Reverend W. Awdry, made up to accompany this wonderful toy were first published in 1945. He continued to create new adventures and characters until 1972, when he retired from writing. Reverend Awdry died in 1997 at the age of 85.
