Hoaxes | Judith Herbst

Photographs of fairies playing in a garden. The petrified remains of a giant human found in a farm field. A lost tribe of cave dwellers. Life discovered on the Moon. Giant circles stamped on a wheat field... What do all these stories have in common? They're fakes. Tricks. Never really happened. So who falls for these elaborate hoaxes? Lots of people. These schemes have fooled authors, scientists and newspaper reporters. This book gives readers a chance to figure out what's false about these tales before the experts do.
