Set in the period leading up to the First World War, The Underworld vividly relates the story of working coal miners and the members of the community in which they lived.

It tells the story of their loves, hopes and dreams. It portrays their struggles with the forces of nature deep underground and their equally tenacious and vicious struggles with their so-called "masters" - the money-grubbing coal-owners.

A masterpiece of working class literature from the pen of an insider. Be prepared to cry!
