Alligator Playground A collection of short stories

Praise for Alan Sillitoe's Collected Stories:

'Sillitoe is, at his best, a master of the genre. Tense, compact and gritty, they speak out with a voice that one recognises at once, with gratitude, as wholly truthful'
Evening Standard

'No one who cares for good writing and honesty of purpose will want to be without a copy'
Scotsman

'As a short-story writer he is on the fringe of the VS Pritchett class, along with the justly admired (but unjustly more admired) William Trevor. It is time the magnitude of Sillitoe's achievement was more widely recognized.'
Daily Telegraph
