Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
These six tales of judiciary retribution find barrister Horace Rumpole in a pretentious nouvelle cuisine establishment and on a bleak modern university campus. According to PW , this collection "abounds with wit, familiar eccentrics and those moments of eloquence that make justice seem as simple and desirable as common sense."

Review of Rumpole A La Carte,
By gerald privin (McDonough, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rumpole a LA Carte (Audio Cassette)
This is a really funny story, well told by Leo McKern, who IS Rumpole. (There are other Rumpole readers, but his is the best, even if you never saw his tv version) For Rumpole of the Bailey fans, you have all the usual cast, She Who Must Be Obeyed, Erskine Brown cheating on Portia, Uncle Tom, and Soapy Sam Ballard, head of Chambers. Lots of fun and really a pleasure to listen to. Couldn't even tell it was abridged. I'm a lawyer and I listen to mine evey fun months to get recharged

More of the legendary Rumpole of the Bailey!,
By
This review is from: Rumpole a la Carte (Paperback)
I for one can't get enough Rumpole in my diet. I look forward to each and every story in this wonderful series. This particular book consists of six short stories. They are all very good, and exceedingly funny, but I always have to pick a favourite, and I think "Rumpole at Sea" was the best in this collection. These stories are so totally wonderful, and Rumpole is so real that you will think that you know him as you read of his exploits. I laugh out loud many times during the course of reading each collection of stories. My hat comes off to Mortimer because of his formidable writing talents. I am glad I have more Rumpole to read.

Only mildly amusing...,
By Blaine Greenfield "eclectic reader" (Belle Meade, NJ) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Rumpole a LA Carte (Audio Cassette)
I've never seen the TV version of RUMPOLE, so when my local library had the cassette version of RUMPOLE A LA CARTE by John Mortimer, I grabbed hold of it to see what all the excitement was about. A LA CARTE features six short stories about Horrace Rumpole, Leo McKern's narration, however, was excellent.
