The story of Deirdre and the sons of Uisneach is one of Ireland’s greatest tales. The oldest version is found in the 12th Century Book of the Dun Cow and many versions have been written in Ireland and Scotland since. This edition is based on the oldest version, and includes artwork by Cork-based Ukranian artist Anastasia Melnykova.
The Deirdre story is part of the Ulster cycle and is one of the Táin’s pre-tales. It tells of Deirdre’s escape with Naoise from the old king Conchúr, their flight to Scotland, and of Conchúr’s terrible vengeance.
