@Andrew65 #20series20days Day 3
Today i thought id try and steer away from crime but possibly only a little tangentially.
These books still adorn my shelves since i used to devour them years ago, i remember them being brilliantly comic stories at which i often laughed out loud . I love having this collection but wonder if i should reread in case they are not quite as wonderful as i remember.

TrishB That sometimes stops me from rereading stuff. 4y
Susanita We used to call our former director: She Who Must Be Obeyed 4y
Andrew65 A wonderful series. 4y

andrew61 @TrishB yes lots of things i think about rereading but prefer to preserve the memory. 4y
andrew61 @Andrew65 TV series was good as well. 4y
LeahBergen I‘ve always meant to read some of these. I have a small volume of Christmas-themed stories. 4y
CarolynM I was a fan too. And I loved his autobiography and the collections of his interviews with notable persons even more than the Rumpole books. 4y

This arrived in the post after Christmas! Connie Willis recommended ‘Spirit‘ in her Miracle collection but it‘s not in this collection 😒. It‘s still fun to reacquaint myself with Rumpole. #oldfriend #rumpole #christmas

#AllRise, please, for Horace Rumpole, Barrister at law. (OK, I know one normally rises for the judge, but this humorous court room series was the first thing that popped into my head for today‘s prompt!)

jenniferw88 Works well with today's Chaser - it's Shaun & he's also a barrister! 😊😘 5y
