Book Synopsis
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, best known as the author of Sherlock Holmes stories, was entirely convinced by a set of photographs showing two young girls from Cottingley in Yorkshire playing with a group of tiny, translucent fairies. This book lays out the story of the photographs, their supposed provenance, and the implications of their existence.

Trade Review
“The aging Conan Doyle, who was a noted spiritualist, in 1922 wrote this slim volume in which he presented the ‘facts’ of the phenomenon known as the ‘Cottingley photographs,’ which depicted two young girls playing with what appear to be fairies. Though he apparently believed in their authenticity, Sir Arthur lets readers decide for themselves.”—Library Journal
