I had an idea to write a novel about Mary (did you know she didn't speak until she was struck by lightning when very young?)Then, Tracy Chevalier published 'Remarkable Creatures' which so bowled me over with its brilliance that I gave up my plan before a word had been written. I have my notes somewhere and My Mary Anning still awaits! I look forward to reading your Mary Anning story as well as the whole anthology.Sally Zigmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07520579251842006765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-53636946127574746692014-03-05T11:21:22.545+00:002014-03-05T11:21:22.545+00:00Hooray for Joan and Mary Anning!Hooray for Joan and Mary Anning!Susan Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738737493756183909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-32830127218851264822014-03-05T08:13:41.698+00:002014-03-05T08:13:41.698+00:00Mary Anning has always been something of a hero to...Mary Anning has always been something of a hero to me.
