Description
"Clinging to the Wreckage" is the first and most celebrated volume of John Mortimer's memoirs. It recounts with great wit and style his peculier childhood in the Chilterns - the only son of a blind, poetry-spouting barrister and his devoted wife - followed by the author's own experiences in the law. A bestseller in its day, the book remains one of Mortimer's greatest achievements. ISBN:9780140063837
