Template:Otherpeople James Stephens (February 9, 1882–December 26, 1950) was an Irish novelist and poet.

James Stephens wrote many retellings of Irish fairy tales. His retellings are always beautiful and charming (particularly Dierdre, and Irish Fairy Tales is good). He also wrote several books (The Crock of Gold, Etched in Moonlight, Demi-Gods) which are fiction but based in some way on Irish fairy tales. He also wrote history, poetry, and other novels (Insurrection in Dublin, Mary, Mary).
