Rumpole and the Primrose Path

Rumpole and the Primrose Path is an anthology of light hearted legal comedy short stories^[1] by writer John Mortimer. It is the 12th in a series based in part on his own past experiences as a barrister but also notable for their use of themes topical at the time each was published.^[2] It begins with the aged barrister Horace Rumpole^[3] marooned in a nursing home where he feels some shady business is going on. Several of the stories in the collection were adapted as part of a series of 45 minute radio plays starring real life husband and wife duo Timothy West and Prunella Scales.^[4] The short stories included in the work are:
