		<description><![CDATA[We bought this book when we where in Hong Kong last year from Book Buddy.
At HKD175, it&#8217;s quite pricey but since it&#8217;s a collection of the original stories (and illustrations!) on Thomas, Percy, Toby, Edward, Gordon, Henry and James, we bought it for Lucas.
He loved listening to the stories (which seems to be the source [...]]]></description>
