There the story might have ended too, but Trevor-Roper was intrigued, opening a file on Peters and gathering further information about him. Adam Sisman has used the collection of notes Trevor-Roper put together on Peters over this period and supplemented it with his own research to produce a wonderfully entertaining account of this academic and clerical fraud.
