Description: In the intriguing real-life tale of a man whose amazing adventure stories sounded too good to be true, early 20th-century explorer Louis de Rougemont stepped onto the stage and told fantastical tales about an enormous sea monster, a sea turtle big enough to ride, fish that rain from the sky and other astonishing phenomena that stirred wonder in his audiences and disbelief in his critics.
