by Bram Stoker
'Famous Impostors ' Summary
Aliases. Fraudsters. Confidence tricksters. People pretending to be what they are not, for financial, political or personal gain.

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.
