Rumpole Of The Bailey VIII. 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 surrounded by fabulous characters: Rumpole’s wife, Hilda (otherwise known as She Who Must Be Obeyed) and philandering colleague Claude Erskine-Brown who accompanies the cantankerous Horace 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 people, a detective novelist.
