A short story for children of age 8+, set in a coal village in the 1880s during the Industrial Revolution, and follows the experience of a young, fatherless, boy working in a coalmine who is caught up in a pitfall. This republished edition captures the imagination as much as in previous years, but more importantly retains the integrity of the gospel message. The ending will encourage readers to see beyond the simple storyline to the message of freedom in Christ and liberty from the darkness of this evil world.
