Coraline is not the kind of girl to be put off by a sign of danger read in some tea leaves or indeed a message sent to her by some very talented mice! No, she is the kind of girl who faces a challenge with bravery, intelligence and a lot of determination. Which is just as well because she is going to need all those skills, and more, in this wonderful, spooky tale of a girl caught on the wrong side of a door, with counterfeit parents who have buttons for eyes and who clearly do not intend to set her free. Read it if you dare!

Welcome to Corduroy Mansions in Pimlico: an Arts and Crafts beauty with comforting weathered brickwork and frankly frivolous dormer windows, it is home to some delightfully eccentric Londoners. In the top flat lives William, with his wastrel son and an ex-vegetarian dog named Freddie de la Hay. Four lively young women share the first floor, including twinset-and-pearls Caroline, vitamin-addict Dee, and Jenny, a put-upon PA. And round the corner lives Oedipus Snark MP, the loathsome Lib Dem who has succeeded in offending everyone he knows. But what dark revenge is being plotted by his mother, Berthea Snark, and by his girlfriend, Barbara Ragg?

Following on from the huge success of the 44 Scotland Street series, Alexander McCall Smith `moved house` to London`s Pimlico and into his brand new daily novel, Corduroy Mansions. The building itself - described in a guide to the architecture of the area as `a building of no interest whatsoever` - is believed to have been built as an asylum, or possibly a school, or maybe it was a mansion block - nobody is very sure. In fact, nothing of its history is known, although it does have some nice Arts and Craft features. At the moment it is inhabited by an assortment of characters - including amongst others a literary agent, a wine merchant, one accountant, possibly the first ever nasty Liberal Democrat MP and his long-suffering PA, and a...
