The wily O'Reilly : Irish country stories

Taylor, Patrick, 1941-

Large Print 2014

Before Dr. Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly made most readers' acquaintance in An Irish Country Doctor, he appeared in a series of humorous columns published between 1993 and 2003 in Stitches: The Journal of Medical Humour. These 69 warm and wry vignettes provide an early glimpse at the redoubtable Dr. O'Reilly as he tends to the colorful and eccentric residents of Ballybucklebo, a cozy Ulster village nestled in the bygone years of the early sixties.
