The Importance of Being Seven

Will Bertie ever get away from his overbearing mother? And will we say goodbye to a Scotland Street resident — Angus Lordie and his gold-toothed dog Cyril — as a jaunt to the hills of Tuscany beckons? They star alongside the familiar cast of favourites, as we follow their daily pursuit of a little happiness. With customary charm and deftness, Alexander McCall Smith has given us another instalment to this popular series that is as clever, witty and as delightful as the rest.
