Produktbeschreibung

"I shall put this book on my desk and read it when there is nothing much to be done in the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency''
Mma Ramotswe

How can a girl possibly have married a lion? How can a man have a tree growing out of his head? And how can a woman have children made of wax? The stories in this delightful collection make these questions seem simple,
everyday ones - with, as it happens, simple everyday answers.

Praise for Alexander McCall Smith

"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."
Scotsman

"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

"The most entertaining read of the year."
Guardian
