{"product_id":"b0fwqtk1lc","title":"The Children of Aberfan: A heart-breaking true story of loss, community and courage","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe story of a tragedy never forgotten, and a community who came together to mourn a generation of children\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn October 1966, a small Welsh mining village was hit by disaster. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn  The Children of Aberfan  those who were actually there - rescuers, parents, teachers, neighbours 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e*** Previously published with the title  Surviving Aberfan: The People's Story  ***\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":52759869358296,"sku":"YSL20787","price":3.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0835\/3356\/2072\/files\/813Bxc8av0L._SY1500.jpg?v=1792640154","url":"https:\/\/www.bookmebay.com\/products\/b0fwqtk1lc","provider":"BookMebay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
