The Legend of Ulenspiegel, Volume 1 (of 2) And Lamme Goedzak, and their Adventures Heroical, Joyous and Glorious in the Land of Flanders and Elsewhere

Born under a lucky star and marked by the devil's finger, a newborn in a small Flemish town already carries the contradictions of folk superstition and family hope. His parents, Claes and Soetkin, chat over milk and empty wallets while a midwife offers herbal charms, painting a vivid portrait of rural life where sunrise, birds, and barter mingle. The infant, christened Ulenspiegel, is swaddled in warm cloth and promised guidance from the sun itself, setting a tone of playful destiny.

Later, while his father fishes in the canals of Bruges, Ulenspiegel’s future companion emerges – a well‑dressed but homeless boy named Lamme, known for his gentle nature. Their chance encounter over a shared haul of fish hints at a partnership built on wit, generosity, and a willingness to turn misfortune into mirth. As they exchange stories of familial strife and street survival, listeners can expect a series of heroic, joyous escapades that celebrate the resilient spirit of Flanders.
