A rich account of trying to conceive in past and present. In the author s words, 'a playful antidote and supplement to Google the resort of so many embroiled in fertility struggle'

Isabel Davis leads a research theme on Collections and Culture at the Natural History Museum in London, and she is Honorary Research Fellow at Birkbeck, University of London, and Senior Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Reading. Anna Burel is a London-based artist and illustrator whose artwork encompasses textiles, sculpture, drawing, photography, and collage. Her work investigates the female bodily experience through an exploration of history and traditional storytelling like myth and fairytale. Isabel and Anna have worked together since 2015, holding an exhibition of their work in London in 2017.
