Description
The Professor Dr. von Igelfeld Entertainment series slyly skewers academia, chronicling the comic misadventures of the endearingly awkward Professor Dr. Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld and his long-suffering colleagues at the Institute of Romantic Philology in Germany.
Welcome to the insane and rarified world of Professor Dr. Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld of the Institute of Romantic Philology. Von Igelfeld is engaged in a never-ending quest to win the respect he feels certain he is due — a quest which has the tendency to go hilariously astray.
In The Finer Points of Sausage Dogs, Professor Dr. von Igelfeld is mistaken for a veterinarian and, not wanting to call attention to the faux pas, begins practicing veterinary medicine without a license. He ends up operating on a friend’s dachshund to dramatic and unfortunate effect. He also transports relics for a schismatically challenged Coptic prelate, and is pursued by marriage-minded widows on board a Mediterranean cruise ship.
Professor Dr. von Igelfeld Entertainment — Book 2 Readers who fell in love with Precious Ramotswe, proprietor of The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency, now have new cause for celebration in the protagonist of these three light-footed comic novels by Alexander McCall Smith.
