📱 eBook en inglés THE COMING OF THE FAIRIES

The Coming of the Fairies is Arthur Conan Doyles famous exploration of the Cottingley Fairies case, where two young girls in 1917 claimed to have photographed real fairies in Yorkshire. In this illustrated book, Doyle recounts the discovery of the fairy photographs – delicate winged beings dancing by a brook – and presents his investigation into their authenticity. He includes the girls testimonies (Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths) and supportive statements from believers, alongside the actual fairy photos reproduced for readers. Doyle earnestly argues that these pictures are "epoch-making" evidence of a hidden elemental world. He contextualizes fairies in folklore and suggests that modern spiritual openness allowed these nature spirits to be revealed on camera. The book also addresses skeptics, but Doyles conviction in the veracity of the Cottingley images is clear – he saw them as a hopeful sign of humankinds expanding perception. The Coming of the Fairies thus stands as a curious and iconic piece of paranormal history: a celebrated author defending the existence of fairies with scientific zeal and sincere wonder, complete with photographs of the alleged sprites themselves.
