Introduction to the Baron

Hieronymus Carl Friedrich Baron von Munchausen

Allow me to introduce this handsome fellow. He is the one and only, the great, the brave, world-famous Hieronymous Carl Fredrich Baron von Munchausen-none other than I!

I fight the fiercest monsters of the land and of the deep; leap into flaming volcanoes; fly through the sky on an eagle's back...No voyage is too far for me, no adventure is too daring, no danger is too great.

I am courageous, gallant, noble, generous and kind. I am also very modest, yes, modest to a fault. In fact, I am admired as much for my modesty and truthfulness as for my feats of bravery.  Therefore trust me: every word of these tales is true. Ha! If anybody doubts it, let him meet me last Tuesday at any place of his choosing so we may meet face to face.

These tales are no taller than I, nor stretched any more than salt-water taffy straight from the pots in Frankenmuth Michigan on a hot July day. I have been to the moon and back, dined with great Sultan's, danced with a thousand maids by light of the stars, and had the pleasure of dueling with some of the greatest alive.

I share these tales because they must be shared but only with those who wish to hear them. These pearls are brought forth by the request of one of my many children who with great skill and fortitude has opened a bang up the elephant emporium filled with everything a great adventurer, like myself, would need in his extravagant everyday life.

Aptly named for greatness, Sir Baron's has unique items not found in your average shoppe, from one of a kind Victorian/Steampunk themed items to clothing and jewelry fitting for the greatest of adventuring treasure hunters.

Some of the items are things I have acquired in my travels, while others are fabrications of her two hands. So if you happen to stop in to Sir Baron's, please say good morrow to my daughter Miss Jennifer, and tell her I will be home soon as I finish with my latest adventure.
