Media Reviews
Beautiful Metro; A collection of charm and tenderness. And it speaks volumes for the power of very short stories. Daily Telegraph; Retold in his own deceptively elegant fashion, the simple moral truths of these brilliant stories shine through in a way that is wholesome, engaging and highly rewarding. Herald; It is McCall Smith's wit and storytelling gift that turn these engaging tales into such an enjoyable read. Savour alone or with your children. The Scotsman
