Stone Girl Bone Girl A Story Of Mary Anning Of Lyme Regis (P)

Mary Anning is probably the world's best known fossil hunter. As a little girl, she found a fossilised sea monster, an Ichthyosaurus, the most important prehistoric discovery of its time. Laurence Anholt wrote Stone Girl Bone Girl one stormy winter in his rambling farmhouse above the sea at Lyme Regis. He says - Parts of the story were well known but some details were buried in old books and I had to dig them out like Mary's curiosities, other ideas seemed to drift in like fog from the sea. Sheila Moxley's luscious pictures vividly evoke the coastal setting around Lyme Regis and the real life dramas of his spectacular tale.
