Some Experiences of an Irish R.M.

Some Experiences of an Irish R. M. by E. . 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.
