In the Vine Country (Illustrated Edition)
Edith Somerville (1858-1949) was an Irish novelist who wrote in collaboration with her cousin Violet Martin ("Martin Ross", 1862-1915) using the pseudonym Somerville and Ross. Together they published a series of 14 stories and novels, the most popular of which were The Real Charlotte (1894) and Some Experiences of an Irish RM (1899). The cousins first met in 1886 and their literary partnership began the following year. Edith was devastated by Violet's death, which was partly attributed to a riding accident in 1898 from which she never fully recovered, and she continued to write under both their names claiming that they kept in contact through spiritualist seances. Edith was also an accomplished artist who exhibited her work in Dublin and London between 1920 and 1938, and illustrated numerous children's books and sporting picture books. A keen sportswoman herself, in 1903 she became master of the West Carbery Foxhounds. This work was originally serialised in The Ladies' Pictorial together with the accompanying illustrations which are based on Edith's own sketches, before being published in book form in 1893.
Some experiences of an Irish R.M.
This is the tale of Major Sinclair Yates, an Anglo-Irish man who becomes the Resident Magistrate in a small Irish village. A fantastically-witty, laugh-out-loud story sure to entertain all who read its pages, "Experiences of an Irish R.M." constitutes a must-read for fans of Irish humour and literature. Contents include: "Great-Uncle McCarthy", "In the Curranhilty Country", "Trinket's Colt", "The Waters of Strife", "Lisheen Races, Second-Hand", "Philippa's Fox-Hunt", "A Misdeal", "The Policy of the Closed Door", "The House of Fahy", "Occasional Licenses", and "'Oh Love" Oh Fire!'". Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction. First published in 1899.

Somerville and Ross
Edith Somerville was a talented artist and illustrator, a capable huntswoman and a practical feminist. Her cousin Violet Martin (Martin Ross) had a prodigious memory, an ear for speech and dialect and profound political insight. Together, as Somerville and Ross, their literary styles seamlessly fused to create the masterpiece The Real Charlotte and the witty, comic tales of The Irish R.M. In her superbly illustrated biography Gifford Lewis examines the relationship between the cousins and expores the ways in which their Irish upbringing influenced their lives and work. -- Provided by publisher.
