Cronin’s fourth novel, a favourite amongst generations of his readers following a North country mining family, remembered as a classic of its age.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRobert Fenwick is a miner, and so are his three sons. His wife is proud that all her four men go down the mines. But David, the youngest, is determined that somehow he will educate himself and work to ameliorate the lives of his comrades who ruin their health to dig the nation’s coal. It is, perhaps, a typical tale of the era in which it was written – there were many novels about coal mining in the 1930s – but Cronin, a doctor turned author, had a gift for storytelling, and in his time wrote several very popular and successful novels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOriginally published in 1935, \u003ci\u003eThe Stars Look Down\u003c\/i\u003e is a bold, righteous story of injustice from the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Citadel\u003c\/i\u003e.
