In this heart-warming tale of love, life, laughter, and tragedy (with some smuggling thrown in), travel back in time to explore life set amongst the people living near the tin and copper mines of St. Just, Cornwall, in the mid-19th century.

During the 1860's, author R.M. Ballantyne spent three months living amongst the Cornish mineworkers of St. Just. There, amid the dangers of the deep mines, a story of courage, contentment, and adversity takes place, encouraging young readers to be grateful for the many blessings we all enjoy of home and faith.

Ballantyne incorporates into his story many historical facts, producing an exciting and accurate portrayal of Victorian tin and copper mining, as well as the everyday routine of Cornish life.
