Catalogue Note
Three volumes with close Yeats connections: Liam Miller notes that Yeats requested a revised and extended version of Gogarty's volume for publication in the press and this edition includes an introduction by Yeats; F.R. Higgins was a close associate of W.B. Yeats at the Abbey Theatre and became Cuala's editor after Yeats' death (also see lots 147 and 179); Coole Park was a second home to W.B. Yeats both before and after his marriage, an island of tranquillity where the routine of the entire household was arranged to provide the most favourable conditions for his writing.
