caroparr's review against another edition
4.0
A very entertaining memoir of his unusual family, his life at Oxford, and then his career in London as a barrister who's more interested in theater than barristering. The first of a trilogy that it might be fun to continue with. Bought this at a used bookstore in Chicago and passed on to a friend.

A sweetly funny look at the life of author John Mortimer (Rumpole of the Bailey.)

This isn't an autobiography for people who want dates and details, rather this is a string of memories and anecdotes from a likeable, witty and intelligent author. Mortimer is always honest but never emotional or overwrought despite touching on very personal issues.
