BARON BELIEVED HIS YARNS
Munchausen Said to Have Deceived
Even Himself by His Taies Of
Wild Adventures

Baron Munchausen was the imagi
nary author and hero of q series OF
wonderful tales entitled 'sThe Adven
lures Of Baron Munchausen." They
were first published in England in l785
by Rudolph Erich Raspe, an expatri-
ated German, and were followed by
translations and limitations In German
and other languages.
The name of the hero is said to
be derived from Jerome Charles Fred
erick Won Munchausen, a German off,
Ger in the service Of Russia, who be-
came notorious for his ridiculous tales
OF adventure. 1t Is said that by dint
Of repetition he came finally to believe
implicitly in the truth of his most ex-
trayagant stories.
The authorship of these tales is In
dispute, although one authority says
"the author is Rudolph Erich Raspe.
and the sources from which the adven-
lures were compiled are Bebel's Face
Iiae,' Castiglione's 'Cortegiano,' Bilder-
mann's Utopia and some Of the
baron's own stories"
