Join Alexander at the Edinburgh International Book Festival (event 3 of 4).

Bliss on Colonsay, plastic surgery in Edinburgh, strange encounters in Botswana, and pirates in the Caribbean have all contributed to Alexander McCall Smith receiving the Medal of Honour for Achievements in Literature from the Arts Club of New York – encounter them all in a tent in Edinburgh that will shake with mirth, music and the sound of his infectious laughter.
