Description
"...an intriguing, enchantingly rendered real fairy tale." - Kirkus Reviews 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. 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. This is the story, narrated by Elsie herself, of the true events that led to the Cottingley Fairies becoming a international phenomenon.

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
With its appealing drawings and intriguing historical context, this (literal) fairy tale delights.--Drema Drudge "Foreword 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 "
