The British Railways Stories

[Strathwood]

These fabulous children's books arrived late on Friday afternoon 3 December into our warehouse, just in time for Christmas to encourage grandchildren between 7 and 11 years old around railways. These are designed as follow on books for children when they grow out of Thomas and to encourage reading with stories told in a way to capture the imagination of children.

 

All of the stories are based in real locations, featuring real steam locomotives that have existed, with real history and facts on railways cementing it all together.

The stories originally existed as a made for YouTube Video Series for children in the 7-11 age group.

Since the first video appeared on YouTube in 2007, and the final episode of the original series in March 2012. The various videos featuring the characters Allen, Stephen, Sir Ralph and many more besides, have racked up over 10 million views globally as of 2021.

These books have been written primarily for children ages 7-11, but has been written with parents reading aloud and with children in mind. 

 

A great gift idea for both parents and grandparents for younger family members to encourage children's reading.
