Alexander will also discuss his poetry, all the latest gossip from Mma Ramotswe and the No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency in Botswana, and share his love of the characters from the 44 Scotland Scotland Street series. After their conversation, there will be plenty of time to meet Alexander and get your books signed
