I have just bought this copy for a student teacher who knew nothing about the wonderful Mary Anning - it has both entertained her and given her a really solid scientific base when discussing fossils with our primary pupils. Clearly Mary Anning was not an easy person to work with - but it also gives a good insight into the class and education system and the role ( or not ) if women in society. I am waiting for her to finish it so that I can read it again!

Loved Tracey Chevaliers story about fossil hunter Mary Anning. Then to find it was based on fact! Will be going to Lyme to see the museum. Thoroughly recommend this book.

Our book group enjoyed this story which is based on historical fact. Interesting for its social history and the way women were treated in the nineteenth century as well as the scientific aspects.
