About Oliver Gee and Lina Nordin Gee

Oliver Gee is the host of the popular Paris podcast The Earful Tower. Originally from Australia, Oliver has lived in Paris since 2015 and currently lives in Montmartre. Paris On Air, a memoir telling the often laugh-out-loud stories from his past five years in the French capital, is his first book.

Lina Nordin Gee is a Swedish shoe and handbag designer based in Paris. Lovers of the City of Light might be familiar with Parisian Postcards, featuring Lina’s beautiful prints and original watercolors from around Paris. Kylie the Crocodile is her first book.

About Kylie the Crocodile in Paris

The book is based on a true story: that of the elderly woman who released a crocodile in the canal a few years back. She admitted it right here on The Earful Tower podcast.

We used that setup as the basis for the rest of the story, where we imagined how a crocodile grew too big for a Paris apartment, how she was released into the canal, and then what a crocodile would get up to if she lived in Paris.
