Sun, 23 Sep 2018 12:20:38 GMT

Technical issues mean that the tale of George Psalmanazar has been cut slightly short... Before his death, he went on to become a theological essayist and friend of Samuel Johnson (author of the flipping dictionary), but I'm sure you'll agree that none of that is as interesting as his life as an imposter.
