Kinvara
a Seaport Town on Galway Bay
Written by Caoilte Breatnach and compiled by Anne Korff
"This book is first rate and recommended to all,
even those who have never heard of Kinvara.
A unique selection of historical photographs and a splendid compilation of
locally sourced information. The photographs, spanning the period 1880 to
1960, reflect the lives of Kinvara's people before huge social and economic
changes produced different moulds, imported patterns, new shadows for the
same substance. This is a moving book."
