Thus book is a short collection of anecdotes surrounding the main character, Horace Rumpole, an irascible British barrister (lawyer) who listens to no one and does his own thing but is a very competent defense attorney.
I read these books (actually audio versions) with my husband who loves Rumpole. Personally, I can take him or leave, but they are quick and somewhat entertaining.
