About this book

Mary Anning was facinated by fossils from an early age, realising she could sell them to the gentry who had become avid collectors. She was often ripped off by the buyers and derided by scientists but was rescued by Elizabeth Philpot and their unlikely friendship would take strange twists as the importance of these finds began to spread.
