A beautiful little book by Betsy Shackleton, niece of Mary Leadbeater, which takes the form of a trip around the village, house by house, introducing us to the sights and inhabitants along the way. It is a social document as much as it is of interest in historical terms. Kildare Library Services included it in the reprint of the Annals of Ballitore in 2009.
