Alexander McCall Smith. best-selling author of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. has turned his hand to humour. The delightful result is a creation of comic genius. For in the unnaturally tall form of Professor Doctor Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld. we are invited to meet a memorable character whose sublime insouciance is a blend of the cultivated pomposity of Frasier Crane and of Inspecteur Clouseau's hapless gaucherie. Von Igelfeld inhabits the rarefied world of the Institute of Romance Philology at Regensburg. a world he shares with his equally tall and equally ridiculous colleagues. Professors Florianus Prinzel and Detlev Amadeus Unterholzer. Their unlikely adventures are described in three deliciously funny instalments: Portuguese Irregular Verbs. The Finer Points of Sausage Dogs and At the Villa of Reduced Circumstances. Classical fiction. Modern fiction; Fiction; Humorous. Slight… Read More

When twenty-year-old Pat rents a room from handsome and cocky Bruce. she inherits some delightfully colourful neighbours: Domenica. an insightful and eccentric widow; Bertie. a five-year-old whos mastered both saxophone and Italian; and Irene. his overbearing mother. Pats new job at a gallery seems easy enough. Her boss spends most of his time drinking coffee in a local cafe and discussing matters great and small. and Pats duties are light.

First Edition. 1st Printing. . Pp325. One of McCall Smith's particular talents is his ability to portray archetypes without resorting to stereotype or cliche. Thus we immediately recognise the Edinburgh chartered surveyor. stalwart of the Conservative Association. who dreams of membership to Muirfield golf club. We have the pushy Stockbridge mother. and her prodigiously talented five-year-old son. who is making good progress with the saxophone and with his Italian. Then there is Domenica Macdonald who. rather like Miss Jean Brodie. is that type of lady who sees herself as a citizen of a broader intellectual world. simultaneously arousing both mirth and empathy. 44 Scotland Street is vintage McCall Smith. tackling issues of trust and honesty. snobbery and hypocrisy. love and loss. but all with great lightness of… Read More
