Rumpole and the Primrose Path is an anthology of light hearted legal comedy short stories[1] by writer John Mortimer. It is the 12th in a series based in part on his own past experiences as a barrister but also notable for their use of themes topical at the time each was published.[2] It begins with the aged barrister Horace Rumpole[3] marooned in a nursing home where he feels some shady business is going on.
