by Emlyn Williams, adapted for radio by Dafydd Gruffydd
With Anna Massey as Miss Moffat and George Winter as Morgan Evans
It is 1895 in a Welsh mining village, a place where children are only children until the age of 12 and are then sent over the hills and down the mines. Into this environment comes the iron-willed, blue-stockinged English teacher Miss Moffat.
She is determined to bully and inspire her prize pupil, Morgan Evans, up and out of the pits towards the liberating freedom of learning.
