Description
AUS
Thomas, everyone’s favourite little blue engine, returns with a full head of steam for these brand new adventures!
The Fat Controller’s Letter (post-1991)
My Dear Friends
When I heard the news that you wanted more stories about Thomas and all my engines, I could not believe my ears. It is most gratifying that our adventures here on the Island of Sodor provide so much enjoyment to you all.
I am sure that you will soon make friends you will meet in these new stories; Rusty the Diesel, Skarloey, Granpuff, and the others.
I hope you will go on enjoying all the Thomas stories. My engines still talk about the day the very important visitor came to the island (do you know that story?), and I am afraid James still gets teased about the time he got stung by a bee.
I must get back to my engines, so I will close by sending you my kindest regards.
Yours sincerely, Sir Topham Hatt
PS. And Thomas asked me to send you a cheery Peep Peep!
