"The Legend of the Glorious Adventures of Tyl Ulenspiegel in the land of Flanders and elsewhere" by Charles De Coster is a French-language novel published in 1867. This sweeping tale transforms the medieval German trickster Till Eulenspiegel into a Flemish folk hero fighting Spanish oppression during the Dutch Revolt.
