About this listen

ASBOs may be the pride and joy of New Labour, but they don't cut much ice with Horace Rumpole - he takes the old-fashioned view that if anyone is going to be threatened with a restriction of their liberty then some form of legal proceeding ought to be gone through first. When one of the Timson children is given an ASBO for playing football in the street, Rumpole soon realizes something fishy is going on.

Bill Wallis really makes Rumpole come to life and the character vocalisations are fantastic.



As usual this is Rumpole at his best, I can't recommend this book enough, it is sublime!

Sheer Genius

Bill Wallis does a good job on characterising different people in a believable fashion. I'm glad Hilda gets another chance to express herself - she's probably a more reliable narrator than our old darling hero, though I'd not want to live with either of them.

Good clean satire.

Great stories with lovely wry humour. Horace Rumpole, such an iconic character, so well portrayed by the narrator.

As always really good listening!

I have listened to this book twice now, it is so entertaining, and got new laughs out each time. The way Horace Rumpole navigates his way through the world of legal work is fascinating, and the way he deals with his private life and the 'rules' of his chambers is very good.

Lovely and cuddly

The skillful talents of the narrator voicing each character takes another humorous Rumpole story to the next level of enjoyment!

Outstanding narration!
