Rumpole of the Bailey [Recorded Books]

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.

Brilliant writing; fabulous character; and wonderful narration.

Unforgettable and fully realized character in his debut outing. The Rumpole stories are rich enough to reward regular re-reading.

Great character, fun stories, fabulous narration

The humour was right along my lines and the narratation immersed me in Rumpole's world

A legal classic

A great collection of stories. A wonderful introduction to the great Rumpole. They define his character.

Loveably Curmudgeon

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.

Marvelous.

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.
