Darly is a brave little steam engine who lives in Darlington. He takes children from the local primary school on a trip to the seaside and, along the way, Darly passes through a number of enchanted tunnels. Every time he emerges from the darkness, he goes back in time, leading to some unforgettable encounters with characters from history, including Henry VIII and Emperor Hadrian. The story also features volcanoes, explosions, ghosts, jam butty missiles, and dinosaurs. Beautifully illustrated and written to the rhyming rhythm of a thrilling train ride, Darly's Magical History Rideis a fun journey for children of primary school age - and their parents!
