Title: Black Sheep
Description: "The village is called Mount of Zeal. It's built in a bowl like an amphitheatre, with the winding gear where the stage would be. The pit lies below. Ted Howker's school is on the edge of Lower Terrace next to the chapel. Upper Terrace in a thunderous echo of the Bible so loved by Ted's grandfather is Paradise. Ted and his father and his brothers live in Middle. In the beginning: a household of men, all of whom work in the pit."--Provided by publisher
