Description

Come hear the intriguing real-life tale of a man whose amazing adventure stories sounded too good to be true . . . or were they?

There isn’t a whisper when Louis de Rougemont steps onto the stage to recount his astonishing experiences at the sea and in lands far away. This is a breathtaking tale of catastrophe and miraculous events. A monster with enormous tentacles! A sea turtle big enough to ride! Fish raining from the sky! Cannibals! But critics say he’s an imposter with a gift for spinning yarns. Are Louis’s tales true? Or is he the best liar on Earth? Bold, whimsical artwork brings to life the story of an early-twentieth-century man who held audiences rapt even as his critics dubbed him a hoaxer of the very best degree. A fun slice of history sure to inspire a full of life discussion of truth, fabrication, and the grey areas in-between.
