The 2 1/2 Pillars of Wisdom - Alexander McCall Smith

I picked this book up out of curiosity the other day, I enjoyed McCall Smith's Ladies No 1 Detective Agency books and wondered what his others were like. This encorporates all 3 novels about Professor Dr Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld (Portuguese Irregular Verbs, The Finer Points of Sausage Dogs & At The Villa of Reduced Circumstances), a Professor of Romance Philology in Germany. His adventures are quite comical, and the stories are light-hearted and gentle, much like his stories about Mma Ramotswe. If you liked the Botswana set stories, then these are probably going to be just as enjoyable. Although I didn't warm to von Igelfeld (apparently it means Hedgehog field, which did amuse me) as much as I did to Precious Ramotswe and co, I did enjoy this book. Happy Reading!
