[Leigh · Rating 5 out of 5]

A collection of short stories set around the Edinburgh law courts in the Nineteenth century. Edward Kane and Mr Horse are the main characters. One an advocate and the other a man servant. The few cases that Kane receives are detailed in this collection and while some are tragic there is plenty of amusement to be found, especially during the trials. A guest appearance by Charles Dickens rounds off this pleasant, light-hearted and thoughtful novel.
