Biografía breve
John Mortimer was born in London to Clifford Mortimer, a barrister, and his wife Kathleen May, née Smith. Mortimer attended the Dragon School and Harrow, originally intending to become an actor, and then a writer. His father persuaded him to follow him into a legal career. Mortimer went up to Oxford University, where he read law. During World War II, he worked for the Crown Film Unit, writing scripts for propaganda documentaries. Mortimer made his debut as an original playwright with The Dock Brief, first broadcast on BBC Radio in 1957 and later adapted for television.
Mortimer was called to the Bar at age 25 in 1948. His early career focused on wills and divorces, but he later undertook criminal cases. He's now best remembered for creating the character of Horace Rumpole, a barrister at London's Old Bailey courthouse.
He was married to Penelope Fletcher, who wrote as Penelope Mortimer. The couple divorced in 1971, and he married Penelope Gollop, with whom he had two daughters, Emily Mortimer and Rosie Mortimer. He was awarded the CBE in 1986, and knighted in 1998.

El apacible pueblo inglés de Rapstone Fanner está amenazado por un salvaje plan urbanístico que pone en peligro su encanto y también el del idílico valle que lo rodea. El honorable Leslie Titmuss, diputado local y ministro de Territorio, Urbanismo y Fomento en el gobierno conservador de Margaret Tatcher, está ocupado cortejando a la bella viuda Jenny Sidnia y no sabe muy bien a qué carta quedarse. ¿Debería ser coherente con sus ideas y apoyar a los especuladores? ¿No sería mejor, en cambio, proteger su pueblo de los bloques de oficinas, centros comerciales y toneladas de asfalto que lo van a sepultar?… (más)

Al morir Simeon Simcox, el peculiar párroco socialista del pueblo de Rapstone Fanner, sus hijos descubren que ha dejado toda su fortuna al ambicioso diputado conservador local Leslie Titmuss. Los dos hijos de Simcox reaccionan de manera opuesta: Henry, famoso novelista e intelectual, y antiguo angry young man, impugnará el testamento alegando que su padre no estaba en sus cabales; en cambio, su hermano menor, Fred, un afable médico rural, decide investigar en el pasado de su padre y buscar una justificación a la inesperada decisión paterna.… (más)

Those who have followed beloved barrister Horace Rumpole's career have heard frequent reference to the Penge Bungalow affair but have never known the details of the famous case that established his reputation. Now in this sensational full-length Rumpole novel, Mortimer at las relates the particulars of Rumpole's first case, some fifty years ago when he was but a youthful novice at the Old Bailey.
