Wear a Purple Poppy (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780734421630)

Fiona White (Author)
Fiona is a primary school teacher with a lifelong love of horses and animals. She lives in the Macedon Ranges with her two badly behaved but extremely lovable dogs. The greatest love of her childhood was her horse Nimbus; a feisty, head shy pony who survived the Ash Wednesday fires and lived to be 35 years old. Wear a Purple Poppy: Remembering Animals in War is her first book.
