1 post | 1 read | 6 to read
Welcome to the extraordinary world of Professor Dr. Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld, an unnaturally tall and memorable character whose sublime insouciance is a blend of the cultivated pomposity of Frasier Crane and Inspector Clouseau’s hapless gaucherie. The complete exploits of this unlikely adventurer are delightfully captured in The 21?2 Pillars of Wisdom. From the Trade Paperback edition.

The authors Portuguese Irregular Verb series is my favourite of all his books. Complete ridiculous comedy as you follow Professor Doctor von Inglfeld through his ridiculous experiences. He is completely based on book smarts without any common sense. Such as believing he can become an expert at tennis by reading a book, and how to care for his sausage dog. I found the books charming and funny.
