To Hear the Skylark's Song, an evocative memoir of childhood in Aberfan by former Education minister Huw Lewis is being serialised in the Western Mail from today.
The book described by Tessa Hadley as 'A thoughtful and passionate memoir, moving and respectful’ is a story of what it was like to grow up in a Valley’s community in the 70s: a thriving place of people, shops, clubs, chapel concerts, coal mines, interwoven with gossip and stories and, of course, the annual bus trip to Barry Island.
To Hear the Skylark's Song is available to order from our website here.
