Book Description
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.

Book Description
Somerville and Ross were busy professional writers apart from their novels and stories, capable of turning out a competent travelogue or a well-written article on a variety of subjects. This rather slight work is now over a century old - it was written originally as a series of articles for the Ladies' Pictorial and was published in book form in 1893. Only one sign of civilisation did we see between Recess and Kylemore, and it was of a wholly unexpected type. A middle-sized house, bow-windowed, gabled, stucco-covered, hideous beyond compare, standing in the middle of a grass plot at the foot of one of the hills, and looking as if some vulgar-minded fairy had transported it bodily from Brixton or Clapham Rise. And so the famous two cousins, Edith Oenone Somerville and Violet Florence Martin, observe the sights and sounds experienced on their week-long travels in Connemara. Their adventures begin with their buying of a neat governess cart and a mule called Sibbie to pull it and from there we read the delightful misadventures of the two ladies. The strange characters they meet, the habits of Sibbie, the isolated hotels they stay in are all described with the laconic wit and sharp eye that make this into an exquisite jewel of travel lore.
