A vivid recreation of 1930s working class life in South Wales, this powerful story centres around a moving father-daughter relationship. Viddie grows up observing her father's increasingly wild plans to bring the poverty of the 'Valleys' to the attention of London and the royal family - from his first ever telephone call to the daring scheme reserved for the visit of Edward VII to Wales. A tale of crushing poverty, unsung heroes, hope and humour.
