Editorial Reviews

"Wonderfully amusing . . . full of pithy writing . . . witty and opinionated." (The Wall Street Journal)

"In this sparkling collection of stories . . . our hero's usual grumpy but soft-hearted wit is in full force." (The Seattle Times)

"Mortimer spins his stories with sly panache, allowing the barrister to overcome dunces of all stripes with an understated sense of humor." (The Boston Globe)
