Farmer Bumpkin, a plain country man, starts an action at law over a modest grievance and is drawn into the full machinery of Victorian justice: solicitors, counsel, delays, costs and courtroom theatre, with a cast of rustics and lawyers including the shifty Joe Wurzel. A barrister’s satire on why justice was so slow and dear.
Comic but pointed, it will amuse anyone who has ever dealt with lawyers. Download the free EPUB.
