Summary:
First inspired in the eighteenth century by the tall tales of the real Baron Hieronymus von Münchausen, the legend of Baron Münchausen--as transmitted and transformed by Rudolf Erich Raspe and Gottfried August Bürger--soon eclipsed the fame of his living counterpart and has captivated the European imagination ever since.
