Baron von Münchhausens Merkværdige Reiser og Eventyr

by Rudolf Erich Raspe from 1785 (first English edition)

About

Raspe's Baron Münchhausen tales — here in a Norwegian edition — are the supreme comic tall-tales in the European tradition: the Baron's impossible adventures (riding a cannonball, pulling himself out of a swamp by his own hair, visiting the moon) delivered with straight-faced solemnity. Individual tales (10-20 minutes) work perfectly for comedy evenings.

Translated from the original German.
