A Compendium of Fantastickal Escapades Taken From the Life and Times of Baron Karl Friedrich Hieronymous von Munchausen From the North Pole to the South Seas, from Russia to the Moon; was there ever such a collection of astonishing adventures as the tall tales of Baron Munchausen? He conquered nations, befriended gods, dug the Suez Canal singlehandedly, traveled in time, was swallowed by a whale and scalped by savages, all while strictly confining himself to the facts. The real Baron Munchausen (1720-1797) was, they say, in the habit of embellishing his own tales of his wartime exploits. This collection of stories about a fictional Baron Munchausen was published in 1785 in England, purportedly written by a Hanoverian jewel thief named Rudolf Erich Raspe. But that might only be another tall tale… This New Albion Press edition is illustrated with 42 drawings and woodcuts, and can be searched, highlighted, and annotated by the reader.
