About this book

First published in 1785, these tall tales are told by a boastful old German nobleman who insists, with a perfectly straight face, that every impossible thing happened exactly as he describes it. He rides a cannonball across enemy lines, hauls himself and his horse out of a swamp by his own hair, sails to the Moon, and survives being swallowed whole by a great fish. Raspe based his Baron on a real soldier famous for spinning yarns, then stretched them far past any hope of belief. Short, absurd, and endlessly imitated, the stories remain a small classic of comic exaggeration. Free PDF and EPUB editions are available here.

Rudolf Erich Raspe

Rudolf Erich Raspe (1736-1794) was a German librarian, scientist, and writer whose life mixed genuine scholarship with fraud and flight from creditors. Settling in England, he anonymously wrote the first English collection of Baron Munchausen's tales, the work for which he is now remembered.
