À propos de cet audio
Horace Rumpole, the irreverent, iconoclastic, claret-swilling, poetry-spouting barrister at law, is among the most beloved characters of English crime literature. He is not a particularly gifted attorney, nor is he particularly fond of the law by courts if it comes to that, but he’d rather be swinging at a case than bowing to his wife Hilda, She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed.
In this first title of the popular series featuring Rumpole, all of the major characters who occupy the Rumpole stories make their introductions: the sneaky, slightly effeminate Erskine-Brown, the bumbling Guthrie Featherstone and various and sundry other lawyers and clerks whose lives weave in and out of these stories. These six stories include the "Younger Generation", the "Alternative Society", the "Honourable Member", the "Married Lady", the "Learned Friends", and the "Heavy Brigade".

Refreshing Approach.. Not For Me
On the one hand, I can appreciate the popularity of the Horace Rumpole Legal adventures - John Mortimer's tongue-in-cheek storytelling is full of humor and good nature (and endless references to poetry) - but I found it moderately boring. The criminal events that the obstreperous solicitor contends are unspectacular run-of-the-mill cases. Mortimer's focus is much more on character than plot.
As to presentation: Frederick Davidson captures the irreverent tone of the author perfectly - and delivers commendable diction, timbre, and cadence - but his voice-acting is too often over-the-top for my tastes - the characters are often cartoonish. In toto, however, the performance fits the text.
Altogether, I rate this first book in the 'Rumpole of the Bailey' series 6/10-stars. I could see listeners captivated by the originality of Mortimer's style - in which case a Credit would be warranted - but I would personally keep browsing.
