The story of how Dippy came to the Museum is one that involves danger and adventure in the harsh environment of the American Wild West, the generosity of an eccentric millionaire and the involvement of the British royal family. This book combines a narrative with details of dinosaur discoveries and the research on Diplodocus anatomy and behaviour.
