Reviews

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 TimesThis 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 TelegraphKatsoulis 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 TelegraphHighly entertaining. - Good Book GuideIrresistible ... lots to enjoy. - Wood & ValeRiveting. - Daily MailA joy to read. - The Independent on SundayA brisk, breezy and hugely entertaining survey of literary hoaxes over the past couple of centuries. - Financial Times
