Critics Review
Praise for Rumpole and the Reign of Terror:
‘Rumpole is back, as gloriously seedy as ever. Mortimer’s divine hero is one of the few fictional immortals of our time’ The Times
‘Written with Mortimer’s customary aplomb and an infectious enjoyment’ Elizabeth Buchan, Sunday Times
‘A fine comic creation. A figure who represents something important: the defence of liberty against the arrogance of power’ Scotsman
