Summary
Meet a child mill worker from the 19th century. Live through the freezing chill of winter and a man's desperate journey from Ireland to England in search of work in the 1920s. Dig down into the lives of mine workers down through the ages. Meet two people finding love against all the odds and across class divides, hop-picking in Kent.
Walk with a bronze-age warrior giving up a life of battle as he attempts to find some inner peace. Give gratitude to farmers feeding us down through the ages and discover why some of those farming folk first left their villages to Come Work in Our Factories three centuries ago. Our lives today were built on the toil of our ancestors and their evocative stories are told in this poetry collection.
