The Cottingley Fairies

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.
