Famous Impostors

by Bram STOKER (1847 - 1912)

Witchcraft and Clairvoyance - Witches; Doctor Dee; La Voisin

Aliases. Fraudsters. Confidence tricksters. People pretending to be what they are not, for financial, political or personal gain. Fiction is filled with them to entertain us; but would not be anywhere near as believable if such people had not, in reality, existed since time immemorial. In this work, the famous Bram Stoker throws light on just a few such people, who have tricked their way into the annals of history. - Summary by Lynne Thompson
