Among the knaves and rufflers portrayed in this collection are the Count of Saint Germaine, preceptor of the infamous Cagliostro; Cagliostro himself, whose chicaneries set half of Europe by the ears; De Barthema, great traveler and greater liar; Cambiosa, Tichborn and, greatest rascal of all, Ali Pasha of Albania. This book is another fascinating addition to fictional biography. Illustrated.Finger, Charles J. is the author of 'Romantic Rascals', published 1977 under ISBN 9780836912593 and ISBN 0836912594.
