Join Alexander on home ground at the Edinburgh International Book Festival (event 2 of 4).

An hour of mischief, music and laughter as the prolific Alexander McCall Smith discusses the latest happenings of all our favourite characters—Mma Ramotswe, Isabel Dalhousie, the inhabitants of Scotland Street and the delightful, intelligent and appealing characters from his standalone novels and adventures. A new volume in the hugely popular Scotland Street series, A Time of Love and Tartan, is launched in the UK this week.
