Tutt and Mr. Tutt

With wry charm and courtroom wit, Tutt and Mr. Tutt by Arthur Cheney Train introduces listeners to the eccentric partners of the celebrated law firm Tutt & Tutt and the oddball cases that reveal human folly. This 1919 collection of short stories mixes legal fiction and humor as Train spins episodic tales—murder confessions, stubborn clients, and the petty triumphs and humiliations of city life—each sketched with dry irony and a keen eye for character. Set against the post–World War I American city, the stories explore themes of chance over design, professional pride, and the moral quirks of ordinary people. Train’s voice balances satirical jabs at the legal profession with genuine empathy for his characters, creating entertaining courtroom scenes and memorable dialogues without resorting to melodrama. The result is a period piece that still feels fresh: a study of human nature wrapped in brisk, entertaining legal scenarios. Ideal for fans of classic short fiction, legal satire, and vintage humor, this audiobook is perfect for listeners who enjoy sharp character-driven stories, clever dialogue, and a nostalgic glimpse into early twentieth-century urban life.
