Further Experiences of an Irish R.M., E. OE. Somerville and Martin Ross, Thomas Nelson & Sons, 1938
Further Experiences of an Irish R.M. continues the comic adventures of Major Sinclair Yeates, the long-suffering English magistrate transplanted into the eccentric social life of rural Ireland. First published in 1908, these later stories by E. Oe. Somerville and Martin Ross helped cement the Anglo-Irish comic tradition that later inspired the television series The Irish R.M.. This Thomas Nelson reprint, issued in March 1938, presents the full text in a compact, readable format, bound in blue paper-covered boards with gilt spine lettering and complete with its original dustjacket.
