James Stephens

    9 februari 1882 – 26 december 1950

    James Stephens was een Ierse romanschrijver en dichter wiens werken vaak worden omschreven als sprookjes voor volwassenen. Zijn unieke stijl wordt gekenmerkt door een zeldzame mix van humor en lyriek, wat blijkt uit zijn hervertellingen van Ierse mythen en sprookjes. Stephens verdiepte zich in de Ierse mythologie en folklore om originele verhalen te creëren die zijn liefde voor de Ierse cultuur en taal weerspiegelen. Zijn geschriften worden gewaardeerd om hun verbeeldingskracht en charme, die lezers van generatie op generatie aanspreken.
