The heroines of these five tales which are based on old folk tales, come from different countries round the world: England, Ireland, Norway, the Ukraine, Egypt. But Mary, Fionna, Karl, Maruysa and Zaina have one very important quality in common - they are all very smart. Afraid of nothing, alive to everything, these girls can outwit anyone: a crafty king, a mean old farmer, an angry squire, a sultan's son, and a ghost. Robert Leeson is the author of "It's My Life" and "Jan Alone". "Smart Girls" was shortlisted for the 1994 "Guardian" Children's Fiction Award.

paperback. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing.
