Catalogue of the pressed flowers in the herbarium given to Florence Nightingale by Margaret Stovin in 1833 
Margaret Stovin was a notable botanist of her day, most unusually at a time when botany was the preserve of men. Florence Nightingale’s parents engaged Miss Stovin to coach their daughter, then aged 12. Between them they collected a wide range of flowers and put them in a herbarium, which has survived. This book tells the story and records all the plants in the herbarium.
The Vindicatrix Book of Poems
The Vindicatrix, once a proud fully rigged sailing ship, now reduced to a hulk, served as a training ship for boys aged 16 to 18 between 1939 to 1966. While berthed on the Sharpness to Gloucester Canal, she trained thousands for service in the Merchant Navy. The trainees called themselves ‘Vindi Boys’. They now look back at the old ship with pride and a fondness they did not imagine at the time. Those memories, and the experiences which followed, are well expressed in the poems in this book.
