From the hugely popular 44 Scotland Street series comes the latest adventures of Bertie and his family and friends.

While Alexander McCall Smith's delightfully warm and witty comedy takes some surprising turns, the improbable adventures of this quirky cast of Scots will affirm the heart and joy in Edinburgh's New Town.

A Promise of Ankles is the fourteenth installment of this beloved series.
