Daughters in Law is a 1961 comedy novel by the British writer Henry Cecil Leon.[1] As with his other works it combines an examination of issues in the legal profession with a general Wodehousian humour.
Synopsis
[edit]A judge has two attractive twin daughters who both follow him into the law, one as a solicitor and one as a barrister. As chance would have it they both fall in love with two brothers, the sons of Major Claude Buttonstep. Unfortunately, he despises lawyers throwing a cloud over their potential marriages. Then as luck would have it a dispute with a neighbour means he now needs legal assistance.[2]
