John Mortimer is best known for his stories about the lovable and disheveled barrister Horace Rumpole, the ?great defender of muddled and sinful humanity.? But he is also an accomplished memoirist, screenwriter, librettist, playwright, and former barrister. Now, at the age of eighty-one, he wonders what he should pass on to the next generation.
