"She sells seashells...."
"The tongue twister, "She sells seashells on the seashore," is based on a song written by Terry Sullivan. It's thought the song is about a real seashell seller named Mary Anning (1799 – 1847). Mary Anning was more than a seashell seller. She collected fossils and contributed important information about prehistoric life to the scientific community. She supported herself selling fossils to geologists and to tourists."
The song was written, with music by Harry Gifford for the 1908 Drury Lane production of "Dick Whittington".
