... brilliantly funny and engaging
Scotland on Sunday
Whilst there are some 'ah-ha' moments, as pieces of each puzzle fall into place, it is the storytelling and the author's obvious affection for his subject that give a heart to this book. It's a quirky collection, concerned as much with people, history and fate as with their eponymous associations
FT Magazine
