Based on Irish folklore and described as a "Celtic phantasy," The Quern focuses on an incident involving King Cormack of ancient Ireland. The work was inspired by a sojourn to Ireland by Edith Sterling Levis in which she spent time delving into folk story and legend. Part of her research was undertaken at Trinity College, Dublin. In turning the research into a stage play Levis collaborated with naval commander C. H. Rolleston, himself steeped in Celtic mythology and folklore.
