In this delightful fourth installment of Alexander McCall Smith's 44 Scotland Street series, sly 6-year-old child prodigy Bertie Pollock provides the bulk of the drama as he adjusts to the arrival of his little brother, Ulysses. But don't worry: Smith doesn't forget about his other memorable characters. A thoroughly enjoyable read for both long time fans of Smith or those new to his novels.
