Dear Friends,
Sir Handel has been helping on the Talyllyn Railway, at Towyn, in Wales.
"You could write a book about it", he said when I went to see him.
Sir Handel was conceited before he went: whatever would happen, I thought, if he had a book all to himself?
But some of his adventures were too good to waste, so I mixed them with stories about the other engines.
That ought to keep everyone happy.
