The Anti-Social Behaviour of Horace Rumpole by John Clifford Mortimer - Viking Books (2008), Hardcover, 208 pages [Our New Books - LibraryThing]
I blame the collection short stories edited by Maxim Jakubowski that's my current "emergencies and other places where a short story is just the thing" read - there was one from John Mortimer in that and I was reminded of how much I like dear old Rumple. So I was pleased to spy these two books on a recent shopping trip.
The Reign of Terror - from the Blurb:
Justice isn't blind - it's just a little short sighted and weak around the knees...
The Anti-Social Behaviour - from the Blurb:
ASBOs may be the pride and joy of New Labour, but they don't cut much ice with Horace Rumpole - he takes the old-fashioned view that if anyone is going to be threatened with a restriction of their liberty then some form of meaningful legal procedure ought to be put in place.
