Add to basketSoft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Charles de Coster was one of the greatest nineteenth century Belgian novelists. His special area of interest was old Flemish folk tales and legends. He believed that modern French could not adequately replicate the feel and spirit of the old Flemish language, and so chose to write m…any of his stories in Flemish. He is best remembered for his "The Legend of Thyl Ulenspiegel and Lamme Goedzak", a retelling of the old 16th century story of Til Uelenspiegel, who was a prankster folk hero who developed from out of the Flemish resistance to Spanish occupation. "Legendes Flamandes" is a collection of stories that De Coster wrote based on old Flemish folk tales. This is a critical edition with copious notes and commentary. The text is in Flemish and the commentary and notes in French. This edition was published in 1990 by Editions Labor in their "Archives du Futur" series.
