Summary It is the year 1810, and Mary Anning and her brother Joe are scrambling over the cliffs of Lyme Regis looking for "curiosities" to sell. Suddenly Joe sees a strange giant head sticking out of the cliff-face, and calls to Mary - who can't believe her eyes. The creature must be twenty feet long! Is it a giraffe? A gorilla? A crocodile? No one knows, but Mary is determined to get it out, even if it means risking life and limb
