A Masterpiece
This book was masterfully crafted with in-depth insights into the characters, the nature, the culture, and the time. At times, it is absolutely thrilling and other times it is heart-wrenchingly sad. A definite must-read.

Great King Harry!
Although historical fiction has always been very popular, I don't believe that this kind of fiction--recreating a real human being's life--has ever come into vogue as much as it has in the last twenty-five years or so.

It is written entirely from the miners view, and is therefore one sided, but is nevertheless accurate in ...
