Book
The wily O'Reilly : Irish country stories / Patrick Taylor.
Long before Dr. Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly made most readers' acquaintance in Patrick Taylor's bestselling novel An Irish Country Doctor, he appeared in a series of humorous columns originally published in Stitches: The Journal of Medical Humour. These warm and wryly amusing vignettes provide an early glimpse at the redoubtable Dr. O'Reilly as he tends to the colourful and eccentric residents of Ballybucklebo, a cozy Ulster village nestled in the bygone years of the early sixties.

Fans of Taylor's popular Irish Country novels might not know it, but the inimitable Dr. Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly first appeared in a series of entertaining columns originally published in Stitches: The Journal of Medical Humor. These gently humorous stories not only introduced the "irascible, blasphemous, hard-drinking, rural Ulster GP" but also served as the springboard for the ongoing novelization of the village of Ballybucklebo in all its irresistibly eccentric glory. Though brief, each individual story contains a wealth of warmth, wit, and wile. Readers unfamiliar with the good doctor's personal antics and medical adventures will be delighted to make his acquaintance, and old friends will settle in for a comfortable visit.
