LOCAL AUTHOR WRITES NURSE FLORENCE BOOKS

Jun 05, 2024

I recently interviewed the local author of the Nurse Florence children’s book series. Michael Dow is a registered nurse. He has written every book in this series.

Dow has an extensive collection of Florence Nightingale memorabilia, including a first edition of “Notes On Nursing,” published in 1860.
