This true story was the basis of the 1994 film Princess Caraboo, starring Phoebe Cates in the title role. Bristol, England, 1817. A fascinating look at one of the greatest hoaxes of all time.. A beautiful young stranger speaking an unknown language is tried for the crime of begging. But when a man claims that he can translate her dialect, it becomes understood that the woman is a princess from an exotic foreign land
See the movie; don't waste your time here See the movie instead. It's factual and historical, but pretty dry. The author shows up in the film made in England and is a much more interesting character on the screen.
