Fine Binding. Condizione: Mint. Paul Cox (illustratore). First Thus. This mint copy is bound in green cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to a black panel on the spine and embossed black decoration by the artist to the upper board. The book is encased in a mint, unmarked robust green paper covered slipcase. These experiences are rollicking yarns explained in deadpan tones by Major Sinclair Yeates, recently retired from the British Army and trying to settle somewhere on the West Coast of Ireland. His qualifications for his new role are unclear and his duties do not appear to be especially onerous as he has time for lots of fox hunting, some snipe shooting and even a sailing trip. He is joined after a year or so by his new wife, Philippa, who takes to hunting and her new life with great aplomb. The aspirations for independence of Ireland from Great Britain are scarcely hinted at, and although the new magistrate is tricked by his servants and sold a dubious horse, there is scarcely a hint of animosity in his dealings with the local characters who come to the notice of the law.
