Produktbeschreibung

1768, the Satchwell and Bromwich Iron Foundry . . .

Beneath a pounding tilt hammer, an implement is forged by an apprentice

from a white-hot billet of steel. Thus begins a 250 year history.

The implement is a spade. It is passed down generations of men and women,

and is witness to events as significant as the forging of nations, and as intense

as tilling the soil for survival.

A powerfully told story of people over the ages, their triumphs and their tragedies,

their loves and jealousies.

A thrilling journey, illuminated by the triumph of the human spirit over adversity.

J.J. Overton is from Coventry, in England's industrial West Midlands. He served an apprenticeship as a precision toolmaker, studied mechanical engineering, and is a Freeman of the City of Coventry. He was a director of Grey and Rushton Precision Tools, and subsequently was involved with quality control, at industrial giants, Alfred Herbert Machine Tools, Massey-Ferguson, and Courtaulds Structural Composites. In later years, before devoting more time to writing, he was a self-employed stained glass artist. His native Warwickshire, with its rich, and sometimes turbulent history, influences his writing. He is married, and has two adult sons.
