Peter Wickham narrates the death-defying adventures of Baron Munchausen. From travelling to the moon to fighting a 40-foot-long crocodile and riding a cannonball through the air, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen has entertained readers since its initial appearance in 1785.

Milne, with George Orwell observing that ‘[Samuel Butler] would say things that other people knew but didn’t dare to say’.
