Have you ever wondered what became of poor Peter Pumpkin-Eater? Well, he was charged with falsely imprisoning his wife in a pumpkin shell. This is the story of his trial, a gripping account of a criminal prosecution with rollicking legal anecdotes to enjoy. See the legal process through the eyes of this troublesome defendant, Peter Pumpkin-Eater, as he moves from police interview to barrister's conference and onto the trial.
Peter protests his innocence through his gallant, yet somewhat naive, solicitor, Molly Mouthpiece. Add to this the antics and foibles of such legal characters as Billy Baldface (the inept Barrister), Johnny Goodfellow (the very good Barrister) and Perry Pelican (the melancholy Magistrate) as the unique intricacies of the case unfold.
This new book will a great gift for legal practitioners as well as students.
