This collection spans the life of Cuala and its founders. W.B. Yeats, Cuala's editor and inspiration, died in France in January 1939. Elizabeth Corbet Yeats, its printer, designer and manager, died a year later. Management of the press was taken over by Mrs. W.B. Yeats, assisted by F.R. Higgins whilst Lily Yeats probably helped to supervise the presswork. Despite the death of its principal founders, there was no significant decline in the quality of its list, with the first publication of Kavanagh's The Great Hunger in 1942 a major highlight.  Mrs. Yeats published no more books after Stranger in Aran in 1945, though she continued to issue cards and prints with the assistance of her daughter Anne. Lily Yeats died in 1949 and Mrs. Yeats survived until 1968.
