ILLUSTRATIONS FOR THE LAST BOOK TO BE PUBLISHED BY THE CUALA PRESS. The artist Elizabeth Joyce Rivers (1903--1964) travelled to the Aran islands in 1935, intending to stay for three months but in the event staying for a year, before returning to London to serve as a fire warden in the Blitz. Stranger in Aran was published in 1946 in an edition of 280 copies, with some illustrations hand-coloured. Rivers also illustrated her friend Ethel Mannin's Connemara Journal (1947) and Seán O’Faoláin’s The Man who invented Sin (1948).
