  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.
