'Rumpole, like Jeeves and Sherlock Holmes, is immortal' P. D. James
Horace Rumpole - dishevelled barrister at law, drinker of claret
and smoker of cigars, inveterate quoter of Wordsworth and eternal
defender of the underdog - is one of the greatest English comic
characters ever created. This is the original volume of Rumpole
stories, introducing us to the legal triumphs that first made the
Old Bailey Hack's name, along with a host of choice villains,
frequent forays to Pommeroy's wine bar and, of course, his
formidable, magisterial wife Hilda, She Who Must Be Obeyed. 'I
thank heaven for small mercies. The first of these is Rumpole'
Clive James 'A fruity, foxy masterpiece, defender of our wilting
faith in mankind' Sunday Times
