Synopsis
Some Experiences of an Irish R.M. by E. OE. Somerville and Martin Ross is a humorous collection of stories following the adventures of Major Sinclair Yeates, a retired British army officer who becomes a Resident Magistrate (R.M.) in rural Ireland. Through Yeates's often bewildering experiences with the eccentric locals, the authors provide a witty and affectionate portrayal of Irish country life, full of misunderstandings, mishaps, and the quirks of rural society.
Edith Anna OEnone Somerville (1858-1949) was an Irish novelist who wrote in collaboration with her cousin "Martin Ross" (Violet Martin) under the pseudonym, "Somerville and Ross". Together they published a series of fourteen stories and novels.

Review
As the straightman narrator, observer, and regular butt of hundreds of hilarious trials and mishaps, Major Yeates never ceases to be surprised, is usually not amused, and can't stop himself from loving his Irish neighbors. --500 Great Books by Women
