Rimen en Teltsjes

by Justus Hiddes Halbertsma, Eeltsje Halbertsma, Tjalling Halbertsma

Introduction by O. H. Sytstra · With contributions by G. A. Wumkes · Illustrated by Ids Wiersma

"Rimen en Teltsjes" by the three Halbertsma brothers is a collection of short stories and poems published throughout the nineteenth century. Beginning in 1822 as a modest booklet, it grew through successive editions until its complete form appeared in 1871. Written in Frisian when the language had been primarily spoken for three centuries, this work played a crucial role in establishing a new Frisian literary tradition. The brothers—Joast, Eeltsje, and Tsjalling—each brought distinct voices to tales featuring memorable characters and folk songs that captured the spirit of Friesland.
