Forever Rumpole by John Mortimer
Horace Rumpole lives alongside Mr Pickwick and Bertie Wooster as one of the immortal comic characters in English fiction. This title contains seven stories chosen by the author as his favourites, together with a further seven from the later period and the opening chapters of a Rumpole novel that Sir John was working on when he died in 2009.
John Mortimer was a barrister, playwright and novelist. His trilogy about the rise of an ambitious Tory MP, Leslie Titmuss - Paradise Postponed, Titmuss Regained and The Sound of Trumpets - has recently been reissued in Penguin Classics and his play A Voyage Round My Father was recently successfully revived at the Donmar Theatre with Sir Derek Jacobi in the leading role. He published four Rumpole novels and twelve books of short stories, from which this selection has been made. Sir John died in January 2009. Ann Mallalieu has practised at the Criminal Bar since 1970, and worked frequently with John Mortimer. After becoming a Labour Life Peer, she was voted Peer of the Year by parliamentarians in 2004.
