The Coming of the Fairies | Free Book
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (18591930), best known as the author of
Sherlock Holmes stories but also a devout spiritualist, was entirely
convinced by a set of photographs apparently showing two young girls
from Cottingley in Yorkshire playing with a group of tiny,
translucent fairies. To demonstrate his unshakeable belief in the
spirit world, he published The Coming of the Fairies in 1922.
Doyle’s book lays out the story of the photographs, their supposed
provenance, and the implications of their existence.
Featuring
an original extract from a 1920 article from The Liverpool Echo
about Doyle and the fairy photographs, this quirky and fascinating
book allows us to get inside the mind of an intelligent, highly
respected man who happened to believe in fairies.
