Review title: Bedtime Stories for Adults
Product review: One of the charms of the "No 1 Ladies Detective Agency" books is that they have a gentle feeling not normally associated with mysteries. That mood is very compatible with the traditional African society Mma Ramotswe is part of. That same pacing and charm is used to advantage in "44 Scotland Street" as well. It's engaging to have a Bridget Jones-like character's tale told in such a detached, avuncular way.McCall Smith brings that gentility to these short stories about three German professors. The professors live an insular, old-fashioned existence and these stories describe their awkward encounter with the world. Although the professors experience physical injury (for example, in a duel where the unfortunate bookish student has never held a sword before) we aren't asked to empathize, but merely to feel bemused.If you don't expect too much from these stories, you can enjoy them one by one before nodding off. But they are light, and didn't really leave me craving for more.
