About Alexander McCall Smith
ALEXANDER McCALL SMITH has a double existence. He is a Professor of Medical Law, but also an author who has now written over fifty books on a wide range of subjects. These range from specialist titles such as 'Forensic Aspects of Sleep', (the only book on the subject) to 'The Criminal Law of Botswana' (also the only book on the subject) and from the widely translated 'The Perfect Hamburger' (a children's novel) to 'Portuguese Irregular Verbs' (a collection of stories about eccentric German professors). His collection of African stories, 'Children of Wax', received critical acclaim and has been the subject of an award-winning film.

Alexander McCall Smith recommends
 Last Orders at Harrods (2005) Michael Holman "Delightful, entertaining, profound." |  Passarola Rising (2006) Azhar Abidi "Azhar Abidi is not an author who has his feet on the ground. And that's a compliment." |  Blood in the Water (2007) (Alice Rice Mystery, book 1) Gillian Galbraith "This is a vivid and exciting story, set against the background of Edinburgh's legal and medical circles. There is not a dull page from start to finish." | |
 Oscar Wilde and the Candlelight Murders (2007) (Oscar Wilde, book 1) Gyles Brandreth "One of the most intelligent, amusing and entertaining books of the year. If Oscar Wilde himself had been asked to write this book he could not have done it any better." |
