About this listen
The 20th century has just dawned when David is apprenticed to a Yorkshire coal miner. But what of the younger brothers and sister he has been forced to leave behind in their London workhouse? Will he ever see them again?
©2018 Maggie Cobbett (P)2019 Maggie CobbettWhile Maggie Cobbett paints an accurate picture of hardship and bleakness of 19th-century life for children like David, she balances this well with Yorkshire humour, intricate detail, and wonderfully drawn characters. David grips the heart of the reader and takes us along with him as he settles into his new life with his new job, his new family – and new challenges; never forgetting his brothers and sister, and determined to reunite one day.
A heart-warming and suspenseful tale that is difficult to put down.
Entertaining, thought-provoking and educational
