'On Strike – or – A Load of Twisters' by Joe Kenyon won an Award in 1993. The author describes his experiences at school in the late 1920's. His father was ill and could not work in the mine, so the family received a small support from the Pit Benevolent Committee each week. This meant Joe often couldn't go to school as his family couldn't afford the appropriate clothes for him to attend in, especially in winter.
