Survivors: A Victorian Mine Disaster: A Young Boy's Story by Neil Tonge
Set a Victorian mining town in the 1840s, this gripping fictional account tells the story of a mining disaster and the child labourers who were caught up in it through the eyes of a young miner.
Based on a real explosion and underground fire that happened at Willington Quay near Newcastle upon Tyne, this is not just gritty, but gruesome heart-breaking realism* Carousel *
