RENEGADES: Princess Caraboo #95

Princess Caraboo was the alias of Mary Baker, an early 19th-century English impostor who fooled the inhabitants of Almondsbury, Gloucestershire, into believing she was a stranded princess from a distant island. She created an elaborate persona, complete with a unique language and exotic customs, which captivated the local community. Her ruse was eventually uncovered when a boarding house keeper recognized her from a previous encounter. Despite the revelation, her story fascinated the public, and she briefly became a sensation in England before fading into obscurity.
