The Fantastic Adventures of Baron Munchausen
ISBN: 9781592700912
Publication Date: 20 May 2010

Munchausen is the father of all fantastic liars, and as such, he is part magician and entertainer and part scoundrel, but a charming one, of course! Here, in simple language, Heinz Janisch retells the best-known Munchausen stories with humour and playfulness, making for a lighter and more whimsical presentation than usual.

These retellings are mixed with never-before-heard adventures that were supposedly found only recently among the long-lost possessions of the well-known Baron of Lies. Could it be that new Munchausen material only recently came to light Or might Janisch be playing with us, weaving more magic and mischief into Munchausen as he goes along, compounding the tallness of these already tall tales Only Janisch knows for sure, but it hardly matters, given the thrill and pleasure of the stories he has to relate.

Aljoscha Blau illustrates Munchausen's fabulous journeys and exciting adventures with gorgeous imaginative pictures that are sure to entrance both children and adults.
