Now we are regularly exposed to fake news, author Ian Keable in 'The Century of Deception' tells the engrossing stories of various influential hoaxes which drew in both celebrities, such as Dr Johnson and Benjamin Franklin, and a credulous public, duped by tales of women giving birth to rabbits, levitating Frenchmen or assorted outrageous astrological predictions.
