In <i>The World According to </i>Bertie, Pat deals with the reappearance of Bruce, which has her heart skipping--and not in a pleasant way. Angus Lordie's dog Cyril has been taken away by the authorities, accused of being a serial biter. Unexpectedly, Domenica has offered to help free him. As usual, Big Lou is still looking for love, and handing out coffee and advice to the always contemplative Matthew. And Bertie, the beleaguered Italian-speaking six year old prodigy, now has a little brother, Ulysses, who Bertie hopes will help distract his pushy mother Irene.</p><p>Beautifully observed, cleverly detailed, <i> The World According to Bertie</i> is classic McCall Smith and a treat for his avid fans as well as his first time readers.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Praise for the 44 Scotland Street series: <p/>"McCall Smith's assessments of fellow humans are piercing and profound. . . .
