 Guardian Unlimited | Arts features | The old babe magnet
Life at the Mortimers' could air on BBC4 as a home counties version of The Osbournes, based, as it is, on that same seductive mix of convention and eccentricity.
At 80, Mortimer heads up a family of four children (the youngest 18), four step-children (the oldest 50), a smattering of grandchildren (the newest a week old) and his wife, Penny, some 30 years his junior and characterised by Mortimer as a woman with a great deal to put up with.
One is warned before meeting Mortimer that it's impossible not to fall in love with him: the sound effects - "snff snff", "hmphf", "oh dear", like Moley from Wind in the Willows - the hiccupping laugh, the delicious scrunch of his face behind those racket-sized glasses.

John Mortimer makes Horace Rumpole as real as any fictional lawyer can be, and in the process, Mortimer perfectly captures the joys and woes of trial practice, giving it all a good leavening of humor--something essential to a trial lawyer's retention of sanity.
Mortimer tries to include at least one lawyerly aphorism in each short story in the collection, and part of the joy I find in reading and re-reading the stories comes from searching for these little nuggets of wisdom.
John Mortimer's Rumpole is so satisfying that this is my second copy - I wore the covers off the first SET of the three omnibuses (or is it omnibusi?) I've read every Rumpole story in existence, as far as I know.

 Mystery Guide - Rumpole of the Bailey by John Mortimer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
umpole, the fictive alter ego of eminent QC and playwright John Mortimer, is Exhibit A in any attempt to prove that the British legal mystery is far more deeply rooted and interestingly written than the American version.
However, Mortimer miraculously balances these elements to produce something erasing the divisions between comedy and tragedy, the dramatic and the mundane: whether he's gleefully skewering a pompous judge or flatly describing Rumpole's long-vanished hopes for love and understanding, the author's touch is subtle but effective.
The Rumpole stories, with their eccentric mix of humor and poetry, could only be the result of long marination in a rich literary tradition; you'll hear echoes of Shakespeare, Dickens, and Wodehouse in the telling.

Sir Robert certainly profited in the king's and Roger Lestrange's favour and moreover was most likely a man of the Montgomery garrison, hailing from the town of Stockton in the honour of Montgomery.
And Edmund Mortimer said to me that he had heard from his servants who were at the death that he asked for a priest before his death, but without sure certainty we will do nothing.

Mortimer's beloved barrister, Horace Rumpole, at last tells the tale, hitherto mentioned only in passing, of the Penge Bungalow murders, the case that made his reputation as a defense lawyer decades ago.
Mortimer first describes the appearance of Wystan as one that made him think of a "lobster who had been snatched from a peaceful existence at the bottom of the sea and plunged into boiling water." Followed immediately by a slight retraction, "but I have no wish to be overly critical of my future father-in-law."
As always, John Mortimer's light touch and sly humor were a delight.
