Deze auteur, bekend als de Rev. W. Awdry, was een Engelse geestelijke en spoorwegenthousiast die de personages creëerde van een geliefde kinderboekenreeks over spoorwegen. De personages die hem beroemd zouden maken, en de eerste verhalen met hen, werden in 1943 bedacht om zijn zoon tijdens een ziekte te vermaken. Zijn schrijven richt zich op fantasierijke en meeslepende verhalen met uitgesproken personages die jonge lezers aanspreken. Zijn vertelstijl is eenvoudig maar boeiend en heeft een blijvende indruk achtergelaten in de kinderliteratuur.
