Librivox recording of the Some Experiences of an Irish R.M. by Edith Oenone Somerville and Martin Ross.
Read by Andy Minter
This is the first of three novels which Edith Somerville and her cousin Violet Martin wrote about the English Major Sinclair Yates who leaves the army to take up a position of Resident Magistrate in the West of Ireland in about 1895. The tales tell in a humorous way of his struggles with a new job, new culture, and with his landlord and neighbour Mr. ‘Flurry’ Knox whose prime, if not only, interest is in hunting, which forms the background to all the stories. Miss Somerville was herself the first woman anywhere to become an M.F.H.
(Summary by A.J.M.)

Side-splitingly funny!
These stories are incredibly funny. I found myself laughing out-loud as I listened. Andy Minter does an excellent job of bringing them to life - complete with all the various accents from high to low on the social ladder.
Andy is among Librivox's most talented readers, especially when it comes to rural tales and rustic UK accents. You can find a complete listing of Andy's work for Librivox here.
