Alexander McCall Smith in conversation with journalist Alan Taylor.

A very special opportunity to be part of an audience with one of the world’s most prolific and best-loved authors. Originally an esteemed professor of Medical Law, ‘Sandy’ became a household name when he turned his hand to fiction and published The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency 20 years ago. The book has now sold over twenty million copies in the English language alone. Many of his ‘series’ books have been translated into forty-six languages and become bestsellers throughout the world. These include the 44 Scotland Street novels; the Isabel Dalhousie novels and the von Igelfeld series. He is also the author of the celebrated Corduroy Mansions series.
