Fairies exist and these girls have proof!

Elsie and Frances feel sad for adults who simply can't see the magic in the forests around them. If only they could see what we see. Taking photos is like opening windows . . .

And that’s just what they did.

In 1918, Elsie Wright and her cousin Frances Griffith photographed fairies in their garden, in the small village of Cottingley (Yorkshire). Without expecting it, many people paid attention - including renowned writer and spiritualist Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Although initially reluctant, the famous author convinced a large part of public opinion.

This is the story, narrated by Elsie herself, of the true events.

Industry Reviews
...the text is perfectly complimented by the line drawings done in blues, browns, and grays...This would be a great read aloud, but it is also a book that young readers will want to pick up and read on their own.--Sandra Wiseman "School Library Connection "
With its appealing drawings and intriguing historical context, this (literal) fairy tale delights.--Drema Drudge "Foreword Reviews "
Whimsical pencil illustrations, rendered in simple lines, patterns, and a somber palette of grays, blues, and tans, transport the enigmatic text to the fringe of fairyland...an intriguing, enchantingly rendered real fairy tale.--Kirkus Reviews
