Adventures of Baron Von Munchhausen (Great Classics)

Baron Munchausen’s absurd adventures have entertained adults and children alike for more than two centuries.The real Baron Münchhausen was a German aristocrat whose colourful military career and sporting experiences provided ample material for the after-dinner stories for which he became notorious. One of the guests at the Baron’s table was Rudolf Erich Raspe, librarian, scientist and writer, who later, hard-up in London, turned the Baron’s astonishing life-story to good account.
