«Forever Rumpole: The Best of the Rumpole Stories» is the anthology of short stories by John Mortimer, published by Viking in hardback (480 pages, in English).
Selection of fourteen stories about the lawyer Horace Rumpole, written between 1978 and 2004: seven favourites chosen by Mortimer and seven more from his later period. With irony towards judicial pomposity, Rumpole takes on cases that seem impossible to win. The volume closes with the fragment of a novel the author left unfinished.
Collection of the Horace Rumpole series, published in 2011. Includes an introduction by Ann Mallalieu, a colleague of John Mortimer in the practice of law.
For readers of mystery stories and British humour, as well as for those who follow the Rumpole series.
Sir John Clifford Mortimer was a British barrister, dramatist, screenwriter and author. He is best known for short stories about a barrister named Horace Rumpole, adapted from episodes of the TV series Rumpole of the Bailey also written by Mortimer.
