>>1260977From your post I assume you are not native to the UK? I am, and that's another appeal of the series to me - the earlier books kind of capture that feeling of British rural life of the 40s and 50s. It's nostalgic even though I wasn't alive back then. Just wondering what your opinion is, if any, on that
I also love that the Rev W Awdry went into such minute detail, and all of it (again, barring talking engines) pretty realistic and grounded.
