Rumpole and the Primrose Path

The six new stories in Rumpole and the Primrose Path find Horace Rumpole in classic form, despite a recent heart attack. None the worse for wear, Rumpole is back and deftly parrying everything from the admonitions of his wife, Hilda, to the vagaries of his legal colleagues and their new director of marketing, Luci. With her cell phone, corporate jargon, glossy brochures, and plans to give their chambers a new image, Luci presumes Rumpole is soon to expire and has been busy planning his memorial service. But the witty and irreverent Rumpole, sharp as ever, is far from hanging up his wig!
