Description
Hardback. 315pp. Introduction by Molly Keane. Edith Oenone Somerville and her cousin Violet Florence Martin (Martin Ross) were Irish writers who wrote 14 books together, many humorous and many with a hunting theme. Somerville was Master of the West Carbery Foxhounds, an Irish nationalist and a suffragist. Martin, who shared a great-grandmother with the writer Maria Edgeworth, was in contrast an Irish Unionist and a suffragette (vice-president of the Munster Women's Franchise League). Their work captures the Irish vernacular and the social mores of the time. With 35 illustrations by E. Œ. Somerville.
