The Law of Trusts

by James E. Penner

The law of trusts is undeniably difficult. Almost every topic is complicated by demanding intellectual problems, and academics and judges alike disagree about possible solutions. A book which claims to make trusts easy, is in the words of the author "a book for fools or the gullible." What
this text aims to do is make the law of trusts possible, explaining from first principles what trusts is about and providing the student with an understanding not only of the law, but of the important academic controversies surrounding it. Lists of "must read" cases, included at the end of each
chapter, encourage the student to seek out meaning of trust law for him or herself by studying the judgments on which the body of rules has been built. This fourth edition has been fully updated to take account of the latest developments in the law.

Penner goes in circles. Unorganised in his thoughts. But I guess he gets the law right-eventually.

This is well written, portrays the big picture nicely without getting too caught up in the detail. It is good to get an overview but it is not as comprehensive as Lewin or Mitchell for example.
