Another entertaining read from the master of courtroom farce. Henry Cecil is to the British court what Heyer was to the regency romance and Christie was to the murder mystery. Mr Cecil walks us through the manners of the court- judges in particular- in a most humorous way. The story itself is a farce. A person borrows his neighbour's - who happens to be a Lawyer-hating and court-hating Major- mower and refuses to return it. The Major us forced to go to court.
It's the way Mr Cecil leads you on providing glimpses into a judge's mentality and that of barristers that makes the book absorbing. It is not a fast read- and gets a tad tedious occasionally- but if one keeps one's patience, laughter may be discovered at every twist and turn.
