"Toppleton's Client; Or, A Spirit in Exile" by John Kendrick Bangs is a late 19th-century novel that combines comedy with the supernatural. The story centers around Hopkins Toppleton, a barrister who has inherited his father's esteemed legal name but lacks the skill and drive to match it. The plot takes an unusual turn when Toppleton is approached by a disembodied spirit who seeks his legal help to reclaim his lost body and identity. Initially, Toppleton leads a carefree, privileged life, enjoying wealth and leisure without the pressures of a real legal career. However, his life changes when his firm sends him to London to oversee operations, leaving him with more time for indulgence. The adventure begins when he encounters a spirit who has had his body stolen and seeks Toppleton's legal expertise to resolve the predicament. This unusual setup blends humor with supernatural intrigue, setting the stage for a quirky mix of comedic events and a ghostly legal dilemma. The story's charm lies in its combination of light-heartedness with an imaginative exploration of the supernatural.
