cdm reviewed Münchhausens Abenteuer by Gottfried August Bürger (Easy readers -- Leicht zu lesen -- Klassiker -- A)
Good for kids
3 stars
- The person which is the main character in the stories actually existed: Hieronymus Carl Friedrich Freiherr von Münchhausen
- I liked the stories as a kid, but now they sound too stupid
- The stories at the middle and end of the book are way better than at the beginning
- Many stories sound like the ones from Jules Verne but the Münchhausen stories have to be older because Gottfried August Bürger was already dead before Jules Verne wrote his books
- According to an interview, Jules Verne relished reading the Baron stories as a child, and used them as inspiration for his own adventure novels
