Rumpole And The Age Of Miracles

Description

Horace Rumpole, the irreverent English barrister who stars in the popular PBS series, Rumpole of the Bailey, is even more delightful in these richly entertaining short stories. He fortifies himself with a nip of claret, then approaches his cases with razor-sharp wit and the flourish of a Shakespearean actor. It will take all of Rumpole's cunning to keep these clients out of prison: a man of the cloth who refuses to defend himself, a husband accused of trying to drown his spouse while they share a bath, a young wife charged with eliminating her elderly mate, and others. In fact, to get them off the hook will require more than his usual clever plotting-it demands a miracle. Acclaimed playwright and novelist John Mortimer's deliciously funny courtroom battles and narrator Patrick Tull's lively characterizations will keep you laughing out loud. This audio production includes: Rumpole and the Bubble Reputation, Rumpole and the Barrow Boy, Rumpole and the Age of Miracles, Rumpole and the Tap End, Rumpole and the Chambers Party, Rumpole and Portia, and Rumpole and the Quality of Life.
