Heavy rain had been pounding the village for days and over time filled a tip containing coal waste, situated high above the village. Within minutes, the coal tip had slid down the mountain, engulfing a farm, several houses and a school, and ultimately killing 28 adults and 116 children. It was a man-made disaster, the likes of which had not seen before, and which attracted the attention of the world's media. Aberfan would become synonymous with tragedy as the small, close-knit village mourned the loss of an entire generation of children.\n In The Children of Aberfan those who were actually there - rescuers, parents, teachers, neighbors and children - tell the full story of the tragic event. Moving and simply told, in the voices of the people on the ground, it is a story about a grieving community, about a disaster long foretold but ignored by those in power; and about the heroism and dignity of those who were left behind.","brand":"Octopus Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52053518844192,"sku":"9781800963047","price":8.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781800963047_3050599.jpg?v=1785413124","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/the-children-of-aberfan-bevan-jones-9781800963047","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
