Critic Review:

‘Mortimer’s charming wit hits all the usual legal targets’
The Times

‘Rumpole, like Jeeves and Sherlock Holmes, is immortal’
P. D. James, Mail on Sunday

‘All the familiar Rumpole foibles are deployed delightfully as ever – the curmudgeonly wit, the disdain for personal ambition, and above all, the refreshing lack of pomposity. He has ascended to the ranks of literary immortals’
Daily Telegraph

‘Rumpole remains an absolute delight’
The Times
