Stijn Streuvels was married in 1905 and had moved to Het Lijsternest, his house in Ingooigem where he would live for the remainder of his life.
The 12th impression was still in 1941, in the "Lijsternestreeks", a new series of the collected works of Streuvels published by Lannoo and Standaard Uitgeverij, with illustrations by Renaat Demoen.
Standaard published in 1943 a special film edition to coincide with the release of the German movie version.
In 1965 Desclée de Brouwer created another luxury edition, this time illustrated by Frans Masereel.
The first version was made in Germany in 1943 and was called Wenn die Sonne wieder scheint.
In 1983 a Flemish version called De vlaschaard was made by Jan Gruyaert, with the main roles played by Vic Moeremans and René van Sambeek.
