Till Eulenspiegel is a legendary medieval figure in Germany and the Low Countries. Well known for his practical jokes and pranks that circulate in stories and printed in chap-books since the 15th century.

Charles the Coster transplanted this figure to the 16th century and gave him a role in the war of independence of the Netherlands against Spain. Although some of the pranks have survived, this is a completely different story. By some this work is considered the Belgian national epic. Curiously, even though it deals mainly with Flanders, this work was originally written in French.

An abbreviated translation of this work by Geoffrey Whitworth is available under the title The Legend of the Glorious Adventures of Tyl Ulenspiegel in the land of Flanders.

An excellent Dutch translation is also available from Project Gutenberg.
