Product Details

Rumpole isn’t particularly fond of Christmas—time has a horrible habit of hanging heavily on the hands as the usual rituals are observed: exchanging presents with She Who Must Be Obeyed (a tie for him; lavender water for her) before settling down round the fire at Froxbury Mansions for a traditional turkey with all the trimmings and a bottle of Chateau Thames Embankment, then the Queen’s Speech and a glass of port. In these stories, previously published only in magazines, the call of justice leads Rumpole as far afield as a health farm in Norfolk and as near to home as a pantomime at the Tufnell Park Empire.
By the time Sir John Mortimer died in January 2009, leaving behind 4000 words of a recently begun Rumpole novel, the character of Horace Rumpole had become his most famous fictional creation.

This review is from: Rumpole At Christmas (Paperback)
Just finished Rumpole at Christmas and enjoyed it thoroughly. If it wasn't for the usual suspects aka the Timsons, he would be totally at the mercy of his beloved wife Hilda (SWMBO). Horace is still as wickedly witty as ever, finding and remarking on their Lordship's foibles at every opportunity. I hope that anyone who has read these short stories has enjoyed them as much as I have.
