About this listen

“Deirdre” by James Stephens is a beautifully written retelling of one of Ireland’s most famous Celtic legends. The story follows Deirdre, a woman of extraordinary beauty whose life is shaped by prophecy, passion, and tragic destiny. Born under a dark omen, she grows into a symbol of love doomed to clash with power and jealousy. Her romance with the noble warrior Naoise leads to exile, betrayal, and one of the most moving endings in Irish myth. Stephens’ lyrical prose captures the atmosphere of ancient Ireland—its forests, kings, warriors, and whispers of fate. This audiobook offers listeners a timeless blend of romance, sorrow, and poetic storytelling that remains powerful across generations.Dream AudiobooksCopyright Dream Audio Books Art Literary History & Criticism
