    This is an engaging account of the life of Count Cagliostro, who donned such varied personas as magician, alchemist, colonel, swindler, mythical priest and founder of Egyptian masonry. Photiades details the Count's life from its humble beginnings in Palermo to his adventures in Europe and finally his demise in a remote fortress.
