| Summary | "Some Irish Yesterdays" by E. Oe. Somerville and Martin Ross is a collection of humorous essays and sketches written in the early 20th century. The work offers a vivid portrayal of life in rural Ireland, particularly focusing on the quirks, customs, and humorous anecdotes surrounding Irish society and its characters. Through charming storytelling and engaging prose, the authors capture the essence of the Irish spirit and the vibrancy of its culture. The opening of this work introduces readers to Miss Gerraghty, a strong-willed woman managing a lodging-house in Galway. She is depicted as both dignified and somewhat eccentric, providing insight into her daily interactions with locals and visitors. The narrative also describes a lively Christmas season in Galway, characterized by bustling streets and vibrant characters, setting the tone for the collection's humorous and rich exploration of Irish life. As the narrative unfolds, we encounter various colorful figures, hints of wit, and poignant observations about the cultural landscape of Ireland during that time.
