Covering a time span of over ten years, this novel follows the fortunes of the mining community of Aberfoyle near Stirling, Scotland. Receiving a letter from an old colleague, mining engineer James Starr sets off for the old Aberfoyle mine, thought to have been mined out ten years earlier. Starr finds mine overman Simon Ford and his family living in a cottage deep inside the mine; he is astonished to find that Ford has made a discovery of the presence of a large vein of coal. Accompanying Simon Ford are his wife, Madge, and adult son, Harry. (Summary by Wikipedia) (4 hr 30 min)

NICE CHANGE OF PACE


(4 stars)

Though not as lengthy as most of his books, it was still a good yarn. As usual, Verne gives us some useful and interesting technical info. A very good reading.

classic Verne story.

I actually think all of the readers did a great job! No one with an annoying fake accent or the inability of annunciation

Great book and good readers.
