This book tells of what happened when Skarloey came home after being mended. You will remember from Four Little Engines that Sir Handel Brown, the Owner, had sent him away.. Skarloey is not real, but there is a real engine just like Skarloey. He is very, very old and has been mended. His name is Talyllyn, and he lives at Towyn in Wales.
