These are such a balm to me, a large hint of Wodehouse and a bit of Sayers. What a good thing that I'm old enough to enjoy them. ( ) Forever Rumpole: The Best of the Rumpole Stories, by John Mortimer, is just what it says it is: a collection of 14 short stories by that great lawyer for the defense, Horace Rumpole, one of the most enduring and eccentric characters in English literature. Seven of these were chosen by Mortimer himself and published some years back; after his death in 2009, a further seven stories from later in his career were added, along with the opening chapters of a new Rumpole novel which Mortimer was working on at the time of his death. I couldn't pick one story above all others out of these 14, as they are all delightful; anybody who enjoyed the BBC series based on these stories should hunt this book out, and those who haven't seen the series should read the book too - especially since then, like me, you'll likely hunt out the television shows just to get another taste of Rumpole! Highly recommended.

A treasury of fourteen favorite tales featuring the cigar-chomping, cheap-wine-tippling barrister husband of She Who Must Be Obeyed is complemented by an unfinished fragment of a new story. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
