Athlingwold
Folklore, myth and fantasy are unusual areas of practice for a lawyer. Dan Aysgarth, a personable young solicitor, finds he has to deal with all these as well as more mundane matters when appointed to manage and rescue a struggling firm of solicitors in a 1980s Dorset town. Its sole proprietor has recently died in mysterious circumstances leaving his office in a chaotic and almost Dickensian state. Dan needs his sense of humour and apparently inexhaustible patience to placate irate clients and deal generally with a huge list of problems, most of them serious but some absurdly comic. He also has to rally periodically unhelpful staff in his bold but definitely uphill attempt at rescue.
