Crocodiles brings to life a dystopian, modern-fairytale town where fact and fiction weave as tightly and snag as easily as Granny Cornelia's knitting

In a sleepy seaside town, Cornelia Glass is busy spinning yarn

Witches are burnt in the town centre

Crocodiles lurk in the shallows

Boys who go to the big city are skinned alive by roving tramps. Cornelia's oldest son, Rudolph, is being forced to give up his Punch and Judy show

Matilda, his wife, is secretly writing her first romantic novel

Their daughter, Lucy, can tell the future

But when Cornelia's younger son, Vincent, returns from his glitzy television job in the big city, the stories that once held the Glass family together are in danger of smashing them to smithereens
