Mach ik u tellen hoorter naer
So begins Karel ende Elegast and it is immediately clear that the writer wants you to believe him. He emphasizes the authenticity of the story, asks for permission to tell, and commands you to listen. Entire essays are written about those two verses alone.
Een Vlaamse classic full of food for thought gets new life!
“I want to know who you are, and where you are driving to at this hour and what your father's name is. And whether you as a child ever had a bunny that pooped square droppings?”
An angel gives Keizer Karel the order at night to go steal. Thus begins the adventure of the king with the beautiful beard. An edifying story about loyalty, trust, and honorable behavior.
