As a writer, Reimond Stijns initially worked with his brother-in-law Isidoor Teirlinck (father of Herman Teirlinck), also a teacher in Brussels. In 1884, for example, they jointly published "Poor Flanders", a political satire about the school battle that was raging between Catholics and liberals at the time. From 1886 he went his own way and produced his best work, of which "Hard labor" (1904) is best known. This work was shown on the BRT (1985) in the form of a TV serial starring Jo De Meyere where he played the character Speeltie.

Hiking

Reimond Stijns, author of numerous novels and plays, was born in 1850 in the beautifully preserved Ter Motte school building, where his father was a teacher. With his novel Hard Labeur (1904), the author introduced naturalism in Flanders - a milestone in our literary history. Reimond found inspiration for the book in the rock-hard farm life he saw in Mullem during his childhood.
