Description: Edinburgh is the inspiration for this humorous short story collection from three of its finest contemporary writers. A homesick biologist from Delhi comes to a startling conclusion; two homeless World Cup players become entangled in a magical world of illusion; and tiger-related mayhem breaks out in Murrayfield. J.K. Rowling introduces these intriguing perspectives with a thoughtful account of her own move to Edinburgh and her life there. All proceeds from the book will go to the One City charity, which fights social exclusion in the city.
