«The Collected Stories of Rumpole» is the collection of stories by John Mortimer, published by Penguin Classics in hardback (656 pages, in English).
Horace Rumpole, a witty and dishevelled barrister, stars in twenty stories set in the London courts. He defends a criminal family from the south of the city, takes on chefs and artists, and satirises the pomposity of the legal profession, while his wife Hilda, the formidable «She Who Must Be Obeyed», keeps him in check.
The edition belongs to the Penguin Modern Classics series and includes an introduction by Sam Leith.
For readers of humorous fiction and classic stories, especially those who enjoy satire of the legal world and British characters.
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.
