N2  - "Famous Impostors" by Bram Stoker is a non-fiction book published in 1910. The Dracula author's final work explores a fascinating gallery of historical deceptions, from royal pretenders like Perkin Warbeck to practitioners of magic such as Cagliostro. The collection examines women who disguised themselves as men, infamous hoaxes that fooled entire cities, and controversial claims including the theory that Queen Elizabeth I was secretly male. Each case reveals humanity's enduring capacity for both elaborate deception and willing belief. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
