One hot summer afternoon
July, 2017
Cousins Elsie (16) and Frances (9) are playing in Cottingley Beck Woods, West Yorkshire
and with profound discovery observe "fairies" secretly habitating their local wood.
At extraordinary haste, and without permission, Elsie takes her father's precious
"Midg" Quarter-plate photographic camera to document the "fairies" at play!
What was to follow astonished Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and - later - a post-war World.
This is the story ... as documented in Conan Doyle's "Coming of the Fairies" (Pub.1922).
The fairies are arriving soon ... Please do "Watch this space!"
