This is the intriguing real-life story of Mary Anning, the 'Fossil Girl of Lyme Regis'. Her discovery of a fossil of a fish lizard in 1807 hugely advanced geologists' knowledge of the prehistoric world. The story of her unusual childhood and her extraordinary life is told in a fascinating, child-friendly text by successful children's writer Laurence Anholt, who lives in Mary Anning's home town. The book is stylishly illustrated in glowing colour by young illustrator, Sheila Moxley.
