Thomas & Friends: Thomas the Hero by Farshore
When Thomas the Tank Engine sees a vintage plane flying over he is fascinated and follows it all the way to the airfield. There he meets many wonderful planes and learns all about the part they played in the war. Thomas wishes he could be a hero too. Then when one of the planes crash lands in a pond it's time for Thomas to come to the rescue. Perhaps he can be a hero after all. Thomas has been teaching children lessons about life and friendship for 75 years. He ranks alongside other beloved characters such as Paddington Bear, Winnie-the-Pooh and Peter Rabbit as an essential part of our literary heritage.

He grew up close to the railway and was convinced that the steam engines all had different personalities. He used to imagine conversations between them. Later when he was grown up and his son Christopher became ill with measles, Wilbert told stories Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends to entertain him. Christopher asked for more and more stories and Wilbert began writing them down. The first of the Railway Series books was published in 1945, and Awdry wrote 26 Railway books in total before his son, Christopher, took over the series. There have since been multiple, hugely popular, Thomas the Tank Engine TV series and films.
