The Surprising Adventures of Baron Munchausen

Strong in the tradition of 'When I was a boy ...' and 'Did you hear the story about ...' this is a very funny account of the Baron who from his own humble' account has 'driven a wolf carriage through St Petersburg, been scalped by American Indians, visited the Moon (twice), been hauled through the centre of the Earth by a god, romped with a polar bear' and so an and so on. One of the world's most spectacular adventurers, the Baron's human exploits are retold in his own zany style. Every tall story left me gasping with incredulity and giggling insanely at the irrepressible fun of it all.
