Review
A brisk, breezy and hugely entertaining survey of literary hoaxes over the past couple of centuries. -- James Lovegrove * Financial Times * A joy to read. * The Independent on Sunday * Riveting. * Daily Mail * Irresistible ... lots to enjoy. * Wood & Vale * Highly entertaining. * Good Book Guide * Katsoulis revels in highlighting the most ridiculous details of the hoaxes and is especially good at showing how they suddenly took on a life of their own and escaped their creator's clutches. * Sunday Telegraph * This lively entertaining volume gallops through the centuries, taking in misery memoirs, pretend nuns and the Priory of Sion conspiracy. It leaves you reeling at some people's gullibility. * Daily Telegraph * Hugely enjoyable: amusing, literate, learned and perceptive ... Katsoulis is a wonderfully wise and witty cicerone through the luxuriant jungles of literary fraudulence. Telling Tales is a delight from start to finish, right down to the cheeky cover. * Sunday Times *
