About the book: 
Friedrich von Munchhausen was a German nobleman living in 1700's, and a famous recounter of tall tales. He joined the Russian military and took part in two campaigns against the Ottoman Turks. Upon returning home, Münchhausen is said to have told a number of outrageously farfetched stories about his adventures. His reputation as a storyteller has been exaggerated by writers, giving birth to a fully fictionalized literary character usually called simply Baron Munchhausen.
The stories of the the Lying Baron Munchausen are incredibly drawn-fetched, exaggerated and outrageous.  The daring trip to Russia, the fabled ride on a cannonball, the trip to the moon, the balloon ride, the voyage, the sea monster, and many other stories give a great and fast ride with the Baron through his life. A pleasure to read, it's a must for any nursery!
