Kenney and Clarence Reginald Dalby, who were among the earlier illustrators of the Railway Series books. He remained the illustrator throughout the run of Christopher Awdry's 14 books, illustrating more titles in the series than any other artist. Spong was one of the first illustrators to break Wilbert's golden rule about engines having no faces outside of Sodor – he did this in book 32 of the series, ''Toby, Trucks and Trouble'' – depicting Toby and his brother with faces whilst outside Sodor; in book 35, ''Thomas and the Great Railway Show'' – depicting National Collection engines such as ''Mallard'', ''Duchess of Hamilton'', ''Green Arrow'' and ''Iron Duke'' (complete with big whiskers) with faces; and in book 38, ''Wilbert the Forest Engine'' – depicting ''Sixteen'' with a face when on his railway outside of Sodor. He also illustrated pop-up books including ''Henry and the Elephant from Troublesome Engines''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Clive Spong」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
