About this Item

A cornerstone of Irish literature, The Irish R.M. masterfully captures life in rural Ireland during the late nineteenth century through the eyes of an outsider. Somerville and Ross combined wit, warmth, and keen social observation to create one of the most beloved comic series in English literature. The stories remain popular with readers of Irish fiction, equestrian writing, and classic countryside literature.

Delight in one of the finest works of Irish comic literature with this handsome 1962 Faber & Faber hardcover edition of The Irish R.M. Complete by E. ?. Somerville and Martin Ross.

Bringing together all of the celebrated Irish R.M. stories in a single volume, this collection follows the adventures of Major Sinclair Yeates, an English Resident Magistrate whose attempts to administer justice in rural Ireland are met with unforgettable characters, humorous misunderstandings, and wonderfully observed country life.

Originally published between 1899 and 1915, the stories are widely regarded as classics of Anglo-Irish literature, blending gentle satire, memorable storytelling, and affectionate humour. Their enduring popularity led to the acclaimed television adaptation The Irish R.M., introducing these timeless tales to a new generation.

This attractive Faber & Faber edition remains an excellent reading copy and an appealing addition to any collection of Irish literature, classic humour, or twentieth-century fiction.
