Rumpole A La Carte

4.1/5 ( ratings)

Six new tales featuring everyone’s favorite barrister, Horace Rumpole—disheveled, polemical, and immensely fond of cigars, Wordsworth, and Château Thames Embankment. He once again takes centre stage in these delightful mysteries. Delicious characters such as Rumpole’s wife, Hilda and philandering colleague Claude Erskine-Brown accompany the cantankerous barrister as he visits a snooty restaurant and engages in a battle of wills over his adored mashed spuds; takes the unaccustomed role of prosecutor; and ventures—unwillingly—onto a ship where he confronts, of all things, a detective novelist. Deftly written, sparkling with wit, and touching lightly on serious concerns about the British legal system, Rumpole à la carte is a six-course delight.

Contents: Rumpole à la carte — Rumpole and the summer of discontent—Rumpole and the right to silence—Rumpole at sea— Rumpole and the quacks—Rumpole for the prosecution

Pages: 246

Format: Mass Market Paperback

Publisher: Penguin

Release: May 18, 1991
