As he takes a break in the countryside, he encounters familiar faces and places that stir memories, all while adapting to new challenges in his legal career.

This collection of stories captures the essence of Rumpole’s character while delving into themes of nostalgia and adaptation within the framework of legal fiction.
Official synopsis Publisher
When your life at the Bar has been as rich as Rumpole’s, the past is best avoided – who knows what might have happened to ex-defendants? Still, it keeps intruding on the present. When Rumpole takes a break in the country, he’s sure he’s met the local squire before. And that pantomime dame at the Tufnell Park Empire seems familiar . . .
Of course, some things – Pommeroy’s Wine Bar, She Who Must Be Obeyed – never changed anyway. But now, for the first time, Rumpole appears for an asylum seeker at the Appeals Tribunal, and – horror of horrors – his chambers have become a smoke-free zone. Could it all be too much for Rumpole? Might he have to hang up his wig for good?
