W. Awdry

    15 juni 1911 – 21 maart 1997

    Wilbert Vere Awdry, beter bekend als ds. W. Awdry, was een Engelse geestelijke, spoorwegenthousiast en kinderboekenschrijver. Zijn meest blijvende nalatenschap komt voort uit de personages die hij in 1943 bedacht om zijn zoon te vermaken tijdens een ziekte. Deze verhalen concentreren zich op het leven en de avonturen van stoomlocomotieven en hun vrienden, waarbij de stijl van Awdry vaak morele lessen en de magie van de spoorwegen benadrukt. Zijn werken blijven lezers wereldwijd betoveren met hun tijdloze aantrekkingskracht en charme.
