  George Washington may never have told a
lie, but he may be the only person—our history is littered with liars, deceivers, fraudsters, counterfeiters, and
unfaithful lovers. The Encyclopaedia of Liars and Deceivers gathers 150 of them, each entry telling the intriguing tale
of the liar’s motives and the people who fell for the lies.
   
  To collect these stories of deceit,
Roelf Bolt travels from ancient times to the present day, documenting a huge assortment of legerdemain: infamous quacks,
fraudulent scientists, crooks who committed “pseudocides” by faking their own deaths, and forgers of
artworks, design objects, archaeological finds, and documents. From false royal claims, fake dragon’s eggs, and
bogus perpetual motion 
  machines to rare books, mermaid skeletons, and Stradivari violins, Bolt reveals that
almost everything has been forged or faked by someone at some point in history. His short, accessible narratives in each
entry offer biographies and general observations on specific categories of deceit, and Bolt captures an impressive
number of famous figures—including Albert Einstein, Cicero, Ptolemy, Ernest Hemingway, François Mitterand, and
Marco Polo—as well as people who would have remained anonymous had their duplicity not come to
light.
   
  Funny, shocking, and even awe-inspiring, the stories of
deception in this catalog of shame make The Encyclopaedia of Liars and Deceivers the perfect gift for all those who
enjoy a good tall tale—and those people who like to tell them.
  
  
  Reviews
  “Another intriguing title from a smart and intriguing publisher, Bolt’s is a book to
inspire both pleasure and paranoia. . . . The Encyclopedia is a marvel.”
  (Brian Bethune Maclean's)
 

  “Strangely addictive. A reader is apt to feel repelled by a hoaxster’s audacity and heartlessness
yet intensely curious about how and why the deed was done.”
  (Jan Gardner Boston Globe)
  
 
“A cornucopia of curiosities, Bolt’s A to Z of 150 case studies is a raconteur’s dream. Brimming
with tales of forgeries, fakers, the faithless, and the facile, it pays homage to the weird and sometimes wonderful,
from criminal milkmen in 21st-century China, Ptolemy’s plagiarism in AD 150, Clever Hans, the horse that appeared
to master arithmetic, and Hitler’s diaries. . . . deception is endemic in society. 
  
  Bolt, as
ringmaster of this menagerie of malcontents and mischiefs, allows us to glimpse outside the confines of the everyday. It
is utterly diverting.”
  (The Field)
  
  “In a time when getting to the ‘truth’
can involve ill-informed conjecture or a maze of grey areas, this encyclopedia provides a useful countermeasure with its
treatment of verifiable falsehoods, fibbers, and ‘facts’ found fictitious.”
