English Flemish Legends The brotherhood of the cheerful countenance -- The three sisters -- Sir Halewyn -- Smetse Smee Produced by Jeroen Hellingman and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net/ for Project Gutenberg (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive/American Libraries.) "Flemish Legends" by Charles de Coster is a collection of folk tales written in the mid-19th century. The work captures the essence of Belgian folklore, delving into themes of love, courage, and the supernatural, woven together in a vibrant tapestry of both human and mythical characters. The opening stories introduce us to a range of figures, notably Pieter Gans, the jolly host who encounters a haunting voice in his garden, and Sir Halewyn, a malevolent character whose enchanting song lures maidens to their fate. At the start of "Flemish Legends," we are introduced to Pieter Gans, who is troubled by a sorrowful voice beckoning him from his garden at night. As he wrestles with fear and despair, he meets a fellow named Jan Blaeskaek, who offers him dubious counsel on how to appease the devilish entity haunting his home. Meanwhile, the narrative shifts to Sir Halewyn, whose enchanting song presents a dark allure to innocent maidens. Together, these tales unfold a landscape of whimsical yet sinister folklore, setting the stage for an exploration of human virtues and vices in a richly imagined Flanders.
