A great biography about an important woman in the history of science. A bonus are the many lovely black-and-white pen-and-wash illustrations. It is probably best described as intermediate reading level and because of this focuses on her youth and summarizes the rest of her post-ichthyosaur life in the last chapter. Mary Anning has had more recent biographies written about her, but do any of them have a cover this fabulous? Definitely not. Highly recommended for those interesting in female scientists, the history of science, fossil-hunting, or Dorset. ( )
