It was always the fascination with small things that held her; the shape of a leaf, the pattern of a shell. The smaller the thing and the more intricate its design the more fascinated she was. She collected things she found on her long solitary walks in fields, woods and on beaches. Wherever the family went, she would set off on her own looking for the small and the intricate.
She had no interest in the man-made world of amusement parks. She liked the natural world. While her sisters and brother would all rush for the amusements and rides, she would set off for things like animals in the zoo, or fossil collections.
