HBL Note: This ranks up there as one of the coziest book titles of all time, don’t you agree? The Peppermint Tea Chronicles just begs to be read curled up by the fireplace with a cozy blanket and fluffy socks. I’m not much of a tea drinker, so I’d probably opt for a hot chocolate. So I was surprised to discover this book actually takes place during the summertime on Scotland Street. This is the 13th book in the 44 Scotland Street Series, but I think this book will appeal to new fans as well as longtime readers of Alexander McCall Smith.

From the publisher:
Summer has come to Scotland Street. The long days have prompted its denizens to engage in flights of fancy. Some, like the Duke of Johannesburg’s plan to create a microlite seaplane, are literal flights, and some, like the vain Bruce Anderson’s idea of settling down with one of his many admirers, are more metaphorical.
With the domineering Irene off pursuing academic challenges, Stuart and Bertie are free to indulge in summer fun. Stuart reconnects with an old acquaintance over refreshing peppermint tea while Bertie takes his friend Ranald Braveheart Macpherson to the circus. But their trip to the big top becomes rather more than the pleasant diversion they were hoping for.
Once again, Scotland Street teems with the daily triumphs and challenges of those who call it home, and provides a warm, wise, and witty chronicle of the affairs in this corner of the world.
