From servant girls who made themselves princesses and the footman who turned cannibal chief, to red Indians born hundreds of miles from the nearest tepee, university professors and surgeons with no qualifications but their genius, and men from all walks of life who turned out, on their deaths, to be women, Sarah Burton's exposition of the bold and bizarre world of the impostor is peopled by a huge cat of adventurers and escapologists.
