She Sold Seashells


 I highly recommend this book. It is a small treasure. I ordered it from the @Mini Museum and it arrived in 3 days. It’s beautiful and tells an interesting story. I bought it for a friend who will be having a quiet Christmas. Teachers, seashore science nerds, and simply inquisitive folks will enjoy it…


"She Sold Seashells should be in schools all over the world, and given as a gift to anyone, young or old, who has an interest in Mary, fossils, or palaeontology. It is beautifully illustrated, concisely and logically written, and, above all, it brilliantly conveys the fierce curiosity and wistful sense of injustice that Mary must have felt at being unable to fully join the emerging world of geology. Two hundred years ago, she was ahead of her time. Now, finally, her time has come." ~Geoscientist, The magazine of the Geological Society of London


Embark on a captivating journey into the life of Mary Anning, the groundbreaking paleontologist, with this beautifully-illustrated, hardbound book. "She Sold Seashells ...and dragons: The curious Mary Anning. Re-imagined" by award-winning author Wolfgang Grulke brings Anning's story to life for younger readers through the power of AI-generated, dream-like imagery, photography, classic paleoart, and Ms. Anning's own scientific illustrations.


"An ingenious project to bring Mary Anning to life." ~ Sir David Attenborough, Renowned naturalist and broadcaster.
