Eulenspiegel, Till
All those born with a nimble wit and a love for merry pranks and 
joyful life are Tylls.
And the more Tylls there are born in this world, the happier it will 
be. -- Moritz Jagendorf 
[Ger.,=owl-mirror, hence English Owlglass], a north German or Dutch 
peasant clown of the 14th century who was immortalized in chapbooks 
describing his practical jokes on clerics and townsfolk -- his name 
reveals him as "the man who holds up mirrors for owls to look into". 
The first Till chapbook (c.1510) was probably in Saxon in a book by 
H. Bote, but the story it told spread all over Europe and North 
Britain. He allegedly was born in Kneitlingen (Braunschweig/ Lower 
Saxony) and died in 1350 in Moelln (Schleswig-Holstein). Till is the 
hero of a tone poem by Richard Strauss and of many novels, poems, and 
stories. Tyll Ulenspiegel is one of the variant spellings
