About this listen

From his remote moorland home, David Hartley assembles a gang of weavers and land workers to embark upon a criminal enterprise that will capsize the economy and become the biggest fraud in British history. They are the Cragg Vale Coiners, and their business is clipping - the forging of coins, a treasonous offence punishable by death.

A poetic, moving and apposite paean for the working man attempting to resist the greed and inequality of capitalists and their army of servile flunkeys...

Loved it from start to finish!

Another wonderful book from Benjamin Myers. Historical fiction not normally my cup of tea but this was engrossing. Wonderfully narrated.

An amazing story, beautifully written in almost poetic prose and delivered here in a voice rich with the sounds of ‘Jorvikshire’. I couldn’t help but listen and listen until there was no more.

Astonishingly good
