Publisher's Summary
Winner of the CWA Dagger in the Library Award, 2004.
Alexander McCall Smith, best-selling author of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, has turned his hand to humour. The delightful result is a creation of comic genius. For in the unnaturally tall form of Professor Doctor Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld, we are invited to meet a memorable character whose sublime insouciance is a blend of the cultivated pomposity of Frasier Crane and of Inspecteur Clouseau's hapless gaucherie.
Von Igelfeld inhabits the rarefied world of the Institute of Romance Philology at Regensburg, a world he shares with his equally tall and equally ridiculous colleagues, Professors Florianus Prinzel and Detlev Amadeus Unterholzer. Their unlikely adventures are described in three deliciously funny instalments: Portuguese Irregular Verbs, The Finer Points of Sausage Dogs, and At the Villa of Reduced Circumstances.

Laughed aloud!
Hugh Laurie is the perfect narrator for this book, therefore, I am pleased that I listened rather than read as he is much funnier than my inner voice!
From the start of Von Eagleveldt's adventures I was immediately captivated. His two friends (plus one wife of same) only add to the madness.
I am now going to buy the next three books in this series. Mr Smith has a ready buyer for his next Von adventure/s.
