The Fairy Ring by Mary Losure
"Elsie and Frances Fool The World"
It
all began with Frances, a young girl who, being new to England, one day
discovered fairies at the bottom of the garden. Unfortunately it seemed
Frances was the only one to see these fairies and so without proof no
one believed her, that is apart from her cousin Elsie of course. But
that didn't stop the teasing that followed.
Elsie, being of kind heart and somewhat mischief nature, decided to put a stop to the teasing of her cousin Frances by providing proof of the existence of fairies. Something that was easier said then done, however with a strong will, an artistic flair and a borrowed camera she had managed to do just that.
The Fairy Ring is a true story told of how
two girls, innocently enough, fooled the world and those with the
passion enough to believe. As spiritualism was becoming increasingly
popular at the time, fairies and nature spirits were a popular talking
point, and with so little known about the subject proof of the existence
of such beings were highly sought after. But little did Frances or
Elsie realise just how seriously their proof would be taken.
