Wilbert Vere Awdry, bekannt als P. W. Awdry, war ein englischer Geistlicher, Eisenbahnenthusiast und Kinderbuchautor. Sein bleibendes Erbe verdankt er Figuren, die er 1943 erfand, um seinen Sohn während einer Krankheit zu unterhalten. Diese Erzählungen konzentrieren sich auf das Leben und die Abenteuer von Dampflokomotiven und ihren Freunden, wobei Awdrys Stil oft moralische Lehren und den Zauber der Eisenbahn hervorhebt. Seine Werke bezaubern auch heute noch Leser weltweit mit ihrer zeitlosen Anziehungskraft und ihrem Charme.
