Dyslexia-Smart: tailored for dyslexic readers but can be read by anyone. As deep coal mining has now ended as an industry in the UK, this book is part of an enduring record of mining life over a long period in the East Midlands. The book is lavishly illustrated. Many items of mining memorabilia are shown in photographs and their use explained in the text. There are stories, poems and anecdotes, some tragic, some tender, some funny, all based on a career spent in the pits. So this is an authentic mining voice. For those who know nothing about coal mining there will be much of interest to discover, and for those who have experienced pit life, there will be a great feeling of nostalgia.
