The Travels and Surprising Adventures of Baron Munchausen

This is the first volume of "The Travels and Surprising Adventures of Baron Munchausen" by Rudolf Erich Raspe. The Baron relates his fantastical experiences and exploits, telling of the many singular incidents such as climbing to the moon on a beanstalk, riding on a cannon ball, being swallowed by a fish and being rescued from it's insides, flying on an eagle from Margate to America and many other incredible adventures, and challenges anyone who doubts him, asserting he is "a traveller of veracity!"
