For Young people
A graphic novel interpretation of the Aberfan Disaster, told from the perspective of a single family. On 21 October 1966 a mountain of slurry rushed down a hillside and engulfed the small village of Aberfan, Merthyr Tydfil, causing the deaths of 144 people including many children just starting their school day.
The author’s own family members lived through the disaster. This book focuses on their story, whilst also reflecting the massive impact it had on the village as a whole.
