The Travels and Surprising Adventures of Baron Munchausen
Description:... A collection of tall tales first published in 1785. Raspe, a rogue and a rascal, embellished the memoirs of the real Baron Munchausen, a cavalry officer in the Russian army, and created a mythical character. In one adventure, when hunting in Ceylon, the Baron, attacked by a lion - with a lake on one side and a precipice on the other - is saved when the lion jumps over his head and into the mouth of a crocodile.
