John Mortimer recounts his childhood in the English countryside, with affectionate portraits of his remote parents - an increasingly unconventional barrister father, whose blindness must never be mentioned, and a vague and endlessly patient mother. As a boy dreaming of a tap-dancing career on the stage, his father pushes him to pursue the law, where Mortimer embarks on the career that was to inspire his hilarious and immortal literary creations.
