Description
In 1650 Anne Green, a young servant girl, gave birth prematurely to an illegitimate child. Sadly the baby died and poor Anne was falsely accused of infanticide. In front of a large crowd she was hanged and then carried to the College of Physicians to be dissected for medical science. But as Anne’s corpse lay on the table and the doctors assembled, a strange rattle was heard in her throat. Could she still be alive?

| About The Author | Mary has been writing professionally for over twenty years and has published nearly eighty books for children and young people. She has written funny books, 'issue' books and spooky books, and has now settled into doing what she loves best: writing historical novels centering around real situations (The Great Plague in 1665, for example) and real people (Anne Green, who was hanged for infanticide in Oxford, 1650). |
| Review Quote | This true story is told with a blend of factual period detail and imaginative narrative . . . a haunting and original treatment of an historical tale |
| Other text | I really loved it . . . The beginning is excellent – it grabs you immediately and Anne's strong narrating voice compels all the way through. It's one of those books that really stays with you after you've closed it |
