  • The best-selling British book The Diary of a Young Lady of Fashion in the Year 1764–1765 by Cleone Knox, supposedly an eighteenth-century diary unearthed and published for the first time in 1925, was exposed as a hoax. Magdalen King-Hall, the young daughter of Admiral Sir George Fowler King-Hall, was revealed to be the real author. "I wrote the book in a few weeks, but if I had realized so many distinguished people would have taken it seriously, I should have spent much more time and pains on it", King-Hall stated.
