What sad event prevented Harriet from finishing the sampler? And how is it that Maria is aware of a dog barking, when no one else can hear it? Her interest in the history of the area leads her to make a friend – a rare occurrence for Maria, who can be painfully shy at times, and it involves her in a mystery. And when Maria is taken by her father and mother to Lyme Regis for the summer holidays, she quickly becomes fascinated by the myriads of long-dead creatures which are still visible, fixed forever in the local grey-blue stone. Hunting for fossils on the Dorset coast is a pleasure which has delighted generations of families. Publisher: Harper Collins Children's Books Why are there no photos of Harriet after 1865?
At the same time she becomes increasingly absorbed in the history of a sampler stitched by a girl the same age as herself. Summary: Maria, a rather solitary girl, goes on holiday with her parents to Lyme Regis where she finds herself intrigued by the noisy, unruly family next door.
