Rumpole – Folio Society

A collection of Rumple stories selected and introduced by John Mortimer in a deluxe volume released by Folio Society. The book features ten stories and is illustrated throughout with drawings by Paul Cox.

In the introduction, Mortimer explains how he made his selection:

In this book I have chosen ten of my favourite Rumpole stories. They are the stories I have enjoyed writing most, those which made me laugh a little when I was writing them (the only reliable test of a successful piece of work), and which drew some laughter from the actors when they read through the televisions versions.

The stories include Rumpole and the Show Folk, Rumpole and the Younger Generation, Rumpole and the Tap End, Rumpole on Trial, Rumpole a la Carte, and “Rumpole and the Bubble Reputation.
