A long time before Dr. Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly made most listeners' acquaintance in Patrick Taylor's best-selling novel An Irish Country Doctor, he appeared in some humorous columns at first shared in Stitches: The Journal of Medical Humour. These warm and wryly amusing vignettes offer an early glimpse at the redoubtable Dr. O'Reilly as he tends to the colourful and eccentric residents of Ballybucklebo, a warm Ulster village nestled in the bygone many years of the early '60s. Those seminal columns have been accumulated in The Wily O'Reilly: Irish Country Reports. In such a convenient amount, Patrick Taylor's legions of dedicated enthusiasts can savor the charming roots of the Irish Country series...and beginners to Ballybucklebo can meet O'Reilly for the first time. An ex-Navy boxing champion, classical scholar, crypto-philanthropist, widower, and hard-working general practitioner, Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly is crafty and cantankerous in these captivating pieces of rural Irish life. Whether he's educating a naive man of the cloth in the reality of life, coping with serious hypochondriacs and malingerers, clashing with pigheaded acquaintances, or elevating a pint in the neighborhood pub, the wily O'Reilly knows a doctor's work is never done, even if a few of his "cures" can not be within any medical content material!
