The Railway Series by W. Awdry (2003, Hardcover)

Most delightful series, now very well known by most parents and grandparents of young children. Purchased for my granddaughter, who at two years old is still a bit young for them. She happily plays with the toy trains (also purchased on eBay!) and I know she will love the stories in the next few months and years. Have found eBay the perfect "store" to purchase books, toys, and clothing for children - some new, some used. Price is right and then they can be moved back into the marketplace for yet another child to enjoy. In these days of looming recession - what could be more sensible???
