In the first of six witty short stories, 60s-something English barrister, Horace Rumpole, takes on the younger generation both at home and in the hallowed courtroom—while offending his esteemed colleagues and his draconian wife, Hilda.

Rumpole continues with his curmudgeonly ways, both inside the courtroom and out. This is a great collection of Rumpole tales.

Patrick Tull does a fine job narrating.

The stories in this collection are excellent. As is Mr. Tull’s narration, I only wish the late Leo McKern had recorded some of the unabridged stories.

Marvelous.

Like your most comfortable pair of bedroom slippers, or well worn house robe, Horace Rumpole haunts the passages of your mind with humor, wisdom, and a biting wit. He tempers justice with both mercy and a healthy dose of the ironic, balancing society’s hypocritical puritanism with pragmatic recognition of the absurd. Altogether cracking good tales.

My husband and I love Rumpole’s outrageous and brilliant personality. We have all the Rumpole books by John Mortimer and the DVDs of the TV series that starred Leo McKern. Patrick Tull as reader of the audiobook does a magnificent job conveying Rumpole’s personality.

Patrick Tull sounds like Leo McKern
