"A man starts where he begins!"
So declares Baron Münchausen as he presents here the truth of his extraordinary life first recounted by Rudolph Erich Raspe in 1785.
While Mr. Raspe did indeed get "a few things correct", the rest, says the Baron, "is obviously the product of a deranged and frivolous mind." But not one to shy from a challenge, the good Baron has included both Raspe's original stories and his own memoirs, that the reader can judge for themselves just what happened when and to whom.
So, from the Moon to the Sun to the center of the Earth, from lost islands to scorching deserts, from stormy seas to ice-blown wastelands, the Baron lays forth his glorious exploits in pursuit of excitement, intrigue, and never-ending adventure.
