Unfortunately, she is vague about the actual fairies she is supposed to have seen. So it's hard to tell what she saw, even reading her own work. She even says she wishes someone had asked her for more details at the time, because she just observed them, without really noticing particulars, or even the time of day.

The Cottingley Fairies appeared in a series of photographs taken by two young cousins and came to the attention of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. He later started writing a book on them but never finished it. Public reaction ranged from disbelief to a cult following. Interest in the fairies waned after 1921 and both girls lived abroad for some time. In 1917 nine-year-old Frances Griffiths and her mother had arrived back from South Africa and were staying with Frances' aunt, Elsie Wright's mother. Elsie was 16 years old at the time and the two young girls often played beside a stream.

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 to the Cottingley Fairies becoming a international phenomenon. The Cottingley Fairies' with words and illustrations by Ana Sender is a picture book about 2 English girls who claimed to have seen fairies and have the photos to prove it. In 1918, two girls, Elsie Wright and her cousin Frances Griffith, liked playing outdoors.

The Cottingley fairies was a hoax which demonstrates that being a famous novelist doesn't prevent you from being credulous. In short, Elsie Wright, a wacky art college student, persuaded her ten-year-old cousin, Frances Griffiths, to pose with some cardboard cut-out fairies for a photo in 1917. Later photographs were taken using a double exposure technique to super-impose fairy-like creatures onto photographs. Five photographs were taken in total.

Cottingley Photo No. 2. Image: Frances Griffith . Two years after the photos were taken, Mom attended a meeting of Bradford’s Theosophical Society on fairies and showed the two photographs to the speaker near the end of the meeting. Christine Lynch, Frances’ daughter, had one of Frances’ cameras and her copies of the photographs appraised, and got a price of £25,000 and £30,000. A few months later, Frances’ memoirs, Reflections on the Cottingley Fairies were published, containing increasingly bitter correspondence between Frances and Elsie from 1917 to 1983.
