520    "While gathering material for a photography book about 
       Edinburgh, Alexander McCall Smith found himself inspired 
       to create stories about the people captured in a number of
       particularly striking photos. A smiling girl leading a 
       younger girl astride a pony, and a boy in a kilt on a 
       tricycle beside them, gives rise to a story of a lifelong 
       romance between the two riders. A dapper, roguish-looking 
       man perching on a lady's knee sparks the story of a 
       ventriloquist and an animal handler who work in a circus, 
       and who, under the most delightfully unexpected 
       circumstances, fall in love. The image of a woman haloed 
       by light in a train station becomes the lighthearted tale 
       of a nun's decision to leave the sisterhood and discover 
       what the big city has to offer. Charming and poignant, 
       this collection is brimming with the flourishes of grace 
       and humor that could only come from the pen of Alexander 
       McCall Smith"--|cProvided by publisher
