Brian Strand Poet Narrative

Vignette-On the Strand

She sells seashells on the sea shore
For in Lyme Regis she did explore-
Poor Mary's childhood hobby
This lass of tongue-twister fame
A fossil-finder,now of much acclaim.

Mary Anning (1799-1846) a carpenter's daughter,self-educated,but now hailed as the 
greatest fossil hunter ever known according to the Natural History Museum London
