The story is told by Mary Losure very simply making it suitable reading for young readers, however I think that a child would need to be interested in the story behind the photos to stick with it. They were innocent in that they never intended the photos to become public and particularly not in the vast way that happened. Perhaps people’s beliefs that there are fairies made them more inclined to believe that these young girls were innocent of any scam. The interesting thing about this story is why the girls who took the photos grew to be old ladies before the truth of the photos came out. Several influential people of the time, including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (author of Sherlock Holmes) were sure that fairies were real and latched onto these photos as proof. The photographic plates had not been tampered with. You have probably seen these photos at one time or another, but when they first appeared, experts in photography at the time indicated that the plates the photos were real. This is the full story of the Cottingley fairies, the photos of fairies that came to light in England in the early twenties. Category: NONFICTION – young adult, children
