Rumpole continues with his curmudgeonly ways, both inside the courtroom and out. This is a great collection of Rumpole tales.

Patrick Tull does a fine job narrating.

Loveably Curmudgeon

The stories in this collection are excellent. As is Mr. Tull’s narration, I only wish the late Leo McKern had recorded some of the unabridged stories.

Marvelous.
