A two part book, the first being Lola's life story and the second a plant list with full colour photographs of 72 plants. The plant list was compiled by Anna Vitenbergs and Lola for the Wakuthuni Community in the Pilbara. Lola Young makes for an endearing read for readers interested in the history of traditional medicine in indigenous Australia. The book includes a CD of Lola's songs, passed on to her from her ancestors.' Source: www.fremantlepress.com.au (Sighted 21/08/2007).
