One perfect evening the author receives a ghostly phone call from none other than the Baron Munchausen himself , with a rich offer no sane living man could refuse. Proclaiming his devotion to the truth behind every one of the baron’s tall tales, the author presented this book to the public with absolute faith that you would believe them as much as he does
