A
first for Rockpool Children’s Books,
a non-fiction book!
The Coal Mine tells the story of deep coal mining.
The story
is told through the dramatic paintings of
North
East pitmen painter Derek Slater.
His
paintings depict the hard working pitmen in harsh,
difficult
conditions deep underground as they toil to fulfill the
unrelenting
demands of industry and homes for coal.
The
Coal Mine shows not only a way of life, which has
been
consigned to history, but also a superb example
of
the pitmen painter genre.
