The Cottingley Fairies by Ana Sender
"...an intriguing, enchantingly rendered real fairy tale." - Kirkus ReviewsElsie 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 the Cottingley Fairies to become a international phenomenon.
Isabel Otter is a children's book editor and writer. She grew up in rural Herefordshire and spent much of her childhood in trees. Isabel loves weaving stories and writing about the world around her. She currently lives in London. Ana Sender was born in Terrassa, Spain in the summer of 1978. As a child she loved to draw, write and imagine all kinds of stories. Then she grew up (although just a little bit) and studied painting and illustration in Massana art school in Barcelona. Ana's work has appeared in newspapers, books and also fashion (she's been a pattern designer for the Spanish brand La Casita de Wendy). Her dreams have always played an important role in her work; she lives a second life there that she tries to remember when she wakes up. She likes werewolves, surrealism, and swampy places.
