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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThose seminal columns have been collected in The Wily O’Reilly: Irish Country Stories. In this convenient volume, Patrick Taylor’s legions of devoted fans can savor the enchanting origins of the Irish Country series . . . and newcomers to Ballybucklebo can meet O’Reilly for the very first time.\u003cbr\u003eAn ex-Navy boxing champion, classical scholar, crypto-philanthropist, widower, and hard-working general practitioner, Fingal Flahertie O’Reilly is crafty and cantankerous in these charming slices of rural Irish life. Whether he’s educating a naive man of the cloth in the facts of life, dealing with chronic hypochondriacs and malingerers, clashing with pigheaded colleagues, or raising a pint in the neighborhood pub, the wily O’Reilly knows a doctor’s work is never done, even if some of his “cures” can’t be found in any medical text!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUSED BOOK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-testid=\"pagesFormat\"\u003e335 pages, Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-testid=\"publicationInfo\"\u003eFirst published February 4, 2014\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brewberry Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67587500867678,"sku":"9780765338389","price":12.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/0585\/9678\/files\/17910148.jpg?v=1790732419","url":"https:\/\/www.brewberrybooks.ca\/products\/the-wily-oreilly-irish-country-stories-patrick-taylor","provider":"Brewberry Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
