Produktbeschreibung
Dahn t' Pit is the complete trilogy in one volume. It tells the story of a Yorkshire miner and his sweetheart in the years before the First World War. In Book 1, Bag Muck, young Tom Brocklesby starts work at the age of 12 as a trapper in Cadeby Colliery. He overcomes his terror of the pit and makes plans to get a better job by going to Night School. His self-improvement is noticed by Gertie Holdsworth, a Sunday School teacher, and soon they are walking out together but their plans are set back by the Bag Muck strike and its appalling consequences. In Book 2, Big Smoke, Tom goes to London to train as an inspector of mines and his eyes are opened to a wider world. Gertie has troubles of her own when a friend of her employer tries to seduce her. In Book 3, Firedamp! Tom, a newly-qualified inspector of mines, is involved in the Cadeby Colliery disaster of 1912. Although the main characters in this trilogy are fictional, the events of the Bag Muck strike of 1902-3, and the Cadeby Colliery Disaster of 1912, which form the background to the story, are historical and are based on oral history passed down through the author's family, backed up by careful research.

Autorenporträt
I was brought up in Conisbrough, went to Station Road School, and have lived at various times on Daylands Avenue, Roberts Avenue and Castle Avenue. The town, with its rich history and magnificent castle, has been an important influence in my life and has inspired some of my best work. I read English at St David's, Lampeter and Leeds University, and am now a teacher and writer. I started by writing poetry - but nobody read it, so I tried another of my interests: Dark Age fiction - Anglo-Saxons, Vikings and so on. I know what you're thinking (get a life!) but it's a popular niche, and I found that people were actually reading my books. I also write Science Fiction, Jane Austen sequels, all sorts of other stuff - and more poetry (poetry is like a drug for me and I can't give it up). I also write education publications, mainly study notes, which sell far more than anything else I write. Every now and then I return to my major project which is a Dark Age Pentalogy intended to be 1000+ pages long (it's a prose version of my book, Angleland, which is available in etext and paperback). I'm up to page 25 at the moment (just kidding - I have a draft of the whole thing, but it's going to take a lot more long and lonely nights to make it readable). I am always delighted to receive feedback on my books and can be contacted at xopherw@hotmail.com.
