Summary: In 1917, young Elsie and Frances capture a photograph that stuns the world—fairies caught on film. As the images spread, belief in the magical creatures grows, captivating an eager public. Decades later, the truth emerges: the fairies were a clever hoax. This tale explores the power of belief and the art of deception, set in a time when photographs were seen as undeniable truth. Discover how two girls fooled the world and the extraordinary circumstances that kept their secret for over 60 years.
