//------------------------------// // Introduction // Story: Thomas and Friends: The Retold Adventures // by The Blue EM2 //------------------------------// The Island of Sodor is surrounded by golden beaches and beautiful blue sea. It sits in the Irish Sea between England and the Isle of Man, thereby giving the Bishop of Man and Sodor the other half of his (or her) diocese, and measures 60 miles east-to-west by 42 miles north-to-south. There are towns and villages, a coal mine, country parks, mountains, and lots of trees where the birds sing. This island is also home to lots and lots of railway lines, and many engines. This is the tale of a railway, a group of boys and girls, some engines, and the magic that brought them together. Ladies and Gentlemen, I proudly present... Thomas and Friends: the Retold Adventures!
