Happy Birthday 112 to Wilbert Awdry

I never thought i saw this but today is the day of Wilbert Awdry's Birthday who wrote books of the railway series that Thomas the tank engine and his friends and their stories were told. I mean what else is say about him he wrote the first book that was the three railway engines about Edward Henry and Gordon before writing the next book Thomas the tank engine. 


I enjoy his books i read Tank engine again Thomas Where it had Thomas and Bertie Terence the Tractor Gone Fishing and The guard story and even readed Troublesome engine where it had Trouble in the shed saga and have Percy the small engine. He would retire in 1972 his last book was Duke the lost engine and his son Christopher Awdry would wrote the stories between 1983-2011. 


He's not here but i never got to meet him even though i was born in 1999 just two years after his passing. I respect and admire his work he did enjoy the show too who wouldn't and he's one of my inspirations to write books that i'm trying to pursue. But Happy 112 Birthday to Wilbert Awdry.
