Tento autor, známý jako Rev. W. Awdry, byl anglický duchovní a nadšenec do železnic, který stvořil postavy z úspěšné knižní řady o železnici. Postavy, které mu později zajistily slávu, a první příběhy s nimi spojené, vymyslel v roce 1943, aby pobavil svého syna během jeho nemoci. Autorova tvorba se soustředí na svěží a nápadité příběhy s výraznými postavami, které oslovují mladé čtenáře. Jeho styl vyprávění je jednoduchý, ale poutavý, a zanechal nesmazatelnou stopu v dětské literatuře.
