I am very interested in the Edwardian age so this blog will include articles about interesting Edwardian characters, Edwardian fashion, and lots of Edwardian subjects!

I've also had many articles published, but I'd like to write more non-fiction books and, of course, a novel! My articles can be seen at many websites, including Life in Italy, Crescent Blues, Paris Eiffel Tower Newsletter, and France This Way.

What a fascinating story, I had no idea about the later years of Frank Wild's life, and i'm very glad the story has a happy ending. If you haven't seen it already, I highly reccomend 'Shackleton' (2002), a docudrama produced by Channel 4/ABC Australia, telling the story of the 1914-16 Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition which, despite being a failure, is what Shackleton and Wild are so famous for. The first episode (of two) is almost entirely set in 1914 London
Thank you very much, Richard. I will certainly try to see 'Shackleton'. I have read a few books about Scott and Mawson and the stories of Antarctic exploration are fascinating but extremely harrowing.
My trips to New Zealand made me even more interested in the history of Antarctic exploration because of seeing the statue of Captain Scott in Christchurch and the monument to him in the Botanical Gardens at stunning Queenstown.
