The Girls Are Pretty Crocodiles

Bold, beautiful and spiky, Angela Readman’s stories are both magical and real. Following her acclaimed debut 'Don’t Try This at Home', in this new collection, she approaches the fairy tale with a scalpel.

'The Girls are Pretty Crocodiles' reads like a love letter to girlhood and a ransom note to all the fairy tales we have been told. In her prize-winning work 'The Story Never Told', an illiterate woman sells fairy tales for a book she knows will never have her name on the cover. In 'What’s Inside a Girl', a class takes lessons on dating invisible girls.
