Charles De Coster was a Belgian novelist whose works laid the basis for a Belgian literature. ‘The Legend of Thyl Ulenspiegel’ is considered to be writer’s masterpiece. In this book Belgian patriotism found its fullest expression. Uylenspiegel has been compared to Don Quixote, and even to Panurge. The feats of himself and his friend form the thread of a semihistorical narrative, full of racy humour, in spite of the barbarities that find a place in it. This book also was illustrated by Rops and others.
