All on the Irish Shore (Illustrated Edition) (Dodo Press) Illustrated, Ill edition

Edith Anna Oenone Somerville (1858-1949) was an Irish novelist, artist and illustrator. In 1886, she first met her cousin, Violet Florence Martin (alias Martin Ross) (1862-1915), and under the pseudonym "Somerville and Ross", they formed one of Ireland's most celebrated and successful literary partnerships. Their first book, An Irish Cousin, appeared in 1889, and by Martin's death in 1915 they had published 14 titles together. Somerville continued to write and publish as Somerville and Ross despite Martin's untimely death, believing that, through spiritual seances, the two remained in contact. Further collaborative works include: Naboth's Vineyard (1891), In the Vine Country (1893), Through Connemara in a Governess Cart (1893), The Real Charlotte (1894), Beggars on Horseback (1895), The Silver Fox (1897), Some Experiences of an Irish R. M. (1899), A Patrick's Day Hunt (1902), All on the Irish Shore (1903), Further Experiences of an Irish R. M. (1908), Dan Russell the Fox (1911), In Mr Knox's Country (1915) and Mount Music (1919).
