The Extraordinary Exploits and Experiences of Munchausen, MD

by Julian Walter Brandeis, William Gropper (Illustrator)

A pastiche of humorous fantasy vignettes featuring the title character, clearly modeled on the eponymous fictional character invented by Rudolf Erich Raspe in his 18th-century fantasy Baron Munchausen's Narrative of his Marvellous Travels and Campaigns in Russia. Brandeis was a long-time attending physician at Lebanon Hospital in the Bronx, and briefly edited the medical humor periodical Medical Pickwick, in which most of these stories originally appeared.
