It is coloured in green, pink, red, brown and grey. Beneath the illustration begins the poem to which it refers: Padraic Colum's 'A Ballad Maker', beginning 'Once I loved a maiden fair, / Over the hills and far away, / Lands she had and lovers to spare, / Over the hills and far away.'

Lady Gregory's final book provides an affectionate account of her house, with chapters about the contents and histories of the principal rooms and the estate's now-famous woods and lake.

Yeats's "Coole Park, 1929," a magisterial meditation on Gregory's "powerful character" and her influence on him and other writers of the Irish Revival.
