Tsjalling Hiddes Halbertsma (West Frisian form: Tsjalling Hiddes Halbertsma, pron. [ˈʧɔlɪŋ ˈhɪdəs ˈhɔlbǝtsma] (the r is silent); Dutch form: Tjalling Hiddes Halbertsma, pron. [ˈcalɪŋ ˈɦɪdəs ˈɦalbǝrtsma]) (Grou, 21 January 1792 – there, 12 December 1852),[1][2] was a Dutch Frisian writer, poet and merchant,[3][2][4] and the least well-known of the three Brothers Halbertsma.[5] During his life he won a certain amount of fame in and around Grou, for the poems and short stories he wrote,[1][2] and also because of his success as a businessman.[5] After his death some of his literary works were collected with those of his brothers Justus and Eeltsje[6] to be published in 1871 as the famous Rimen en Teltsjes.[7][8] It was only from 1918 onwards that more of Tsjalling Halbertsma's works were added to this collection.[9][2]
