Never read the stories, myself. I just like this one. ;-)
I might have to check 'em out.
I was first introduced to "Rumpole of the Baily" through PBS. Then I read the books. When the dvd set was released, I bought that also.
It's sweet how he refers to his wife as "She who must be obeyed".
Have a look see here:
