This book covers historical hoaxes including Piltdown Man, the Cottingley fairies, and the Hitler diaries. The text is vague regarding facts and sources, but the stories (all debunked) are entertaining. A concluding "Don't Believe Everything!" spread introduces P. T. Barnum ("a businessman, an entertainer, and an incredible hoaxer") and encourages healthy skepticism. Stock photographs illustrate the busy pages. Reading list. Glos., ind.
