Description:Library of Congress Catalogue Card Number 57-6892 Rascal and rogue, trickster and doer of good deeds, jester and wise man -- Till Eulenspiegel was all of these. He was also a folk hero whose fame spread far and wide through Europe in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and has never been diminished in all the intervening years. The stories in this book describe Till's adventures during the latter part of his life. No longer a young man, Till nevertheless embarked on these fantastic escapades with all the zest and energy that had been with him in his youth. Throughout Central Europe, across the Alps into Italy, northward to Poland and Denmark -- everywhere that Till went he brought merriment to the humble and poor, and sought out knaves and fools upon whom to play his pranks. Pompous scholars, deceitful courtiers, greedy merchants, vain rulers -- all felt the sting of Till's sharp tongue and shrank beneath his nimble wit. Peasants and widows, the kind an the good, worshipped Till as their self-appointed champion and knight. Based on tales first published some four hundred years ago, the stories in this collection are classics of folklore. Till's pilgrimage to Rome his service at the cour of King Casimir, his use of "black magic," his practice as a doctor and as a judge, his sudden renown as a scholar -- each of these incidents in an adventurous life forms the core of a memorable and amusing narrative.
