Is é scéal Éadaoine scéal mór grá na Sean-Ghaeilge, scéal nár mhair ach ina bhlúirí, blúirí i Leabhar na hUidhre, blúirí i Leabhar Buí Leacan. Tá an t-ábhar sin ar fad fite in aon scéal amháin ag Diarmuid Johnson — na bearnaí líonta, agus feoil curtha ar na cnámha —ionas gur sean-eipic nua atá againn atá inchurtha le scéal Héilin na Traí, nó le scéal Tristan agus Íosóid.
The story of Éadaoin is our finest Old Irish love story, a story that survived in fragments found in The Book of the Dun Cow and in The Yellow Book of Leacan. Diarmuid Johnson has combined all these various fragments and knitted them into a whole — filling the gaps and adding meat to the bones — to create a new old epic comparable to Helen of Troy or the story of Tristan and Isold.
