Review
"'A collection of charm and tenderness' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'Deceptively elegant... these brilliant stories shine through in a way that is wholesome, engaging and highly rewarding' HERALD 'These stories are still beautiful; creating a wryly humorous place where the animal and human worlds are fluidly in touch with each other, and, as in all the best fables, you take a lesson away with you' METRO"

With more stories from his original celebration of African folktales, "The Girl Who Married A Lion", let Alexander McCall Smith once again take you to a land where the bizarre is everyday and magic is real.
