Does anyone know where I can purchase the book "WILDFLOWER" the story of Barbara CRAWFORD THOMPSON. Who was shipwrecked in 1843 off North Queensland and rescued by HMS Rattlesnake in 1848. I have heard it has her family tree etc in it and a lot of research.
Thanks Zoe

Hello Alfredo,
Hope you enjoy it. It is not just a story but has lots of
history in it and a bit with aboriginal words and their meanings too. It is a great little book. A friend told me about it.
Regards ZJ

You can buy the book 'Wildflower, The Barbara Crawford Thompso Story' by Raymond Warren from the author himself, or from his UK agent (Me ! ) I list it on Amazon UK but they charge silly fees, so it is cheaper if you can buy direct. I'll arrange a signed copy if you wish, and the author is always pleased to correspond with any descendants of Barbara or her family.

Hi, If you want to send me a cheque for £16.50 , that will cover P&P also for UK and I'll get the author to sign it. My address is Edgefield, Kingsland, Herefordshire HR6 9QN , payable to M Sampson. Alternatively, you can find me on amazon.co.uk however it is more expensive through them as they charge obscene fees of about 5 quid per sale.
