Another entertaining collection of stories featuring Rumpole the defender of the underdog. One of the stories is even from Hilda's point of view. Listened to the audio version which was narrated by Bill Wallis who always does a great job with the characters.

Oh, Horace Rumpole, you are without a doubt my favorite English barrister. You and your cheroots and "Chateau Thames Embankment" and your strong belief in the right of an individual to be presumed innocent, which you call the "Golden Thread of British Justice". This collection of Rumpole tales includes a trip to the European Court of Human Rights, a foray into the world of animal rights, and a battle against prejudice. There is even a story told by his wife, Hilda, "She Who Must Be Obeyed". All in all, a delightful visit to the world of Horace Rumpole.

--a crotchety old barrister pleads for the defense, which is all he knows how to do.
I listened to Rumpole way back in middle school, then forgot about him entirely until just this month. I'm going to have to go back to the others, but these more recent stories were especially fun. I get to see what Rumpole thinks of the EU, animal rights activists, and euthanasia enthusiasts. Of course, what he thinks is "you can't prove they did anything wrong."

More great stuff from Mortimer and Rumpole. You know what to expect although Hilda's Story is the first time a story isn't told by Horace...
