Fortey was a senior palaeontologist at the Museum for 30 years. In this book, Richard gives a fascinating and affectionate account of a hidden world of untold treasures and gives insights into the life, work and characters behind the scenes.

'This book is a kind of museum of the mind. It is my own collection, a personal archive, designed to explain what goes on behind the polished doors in the Natural History Museum.'
