Cottingley
A novella.
In 1917 the world was rocked by claims that two young girls – Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths – had photographed fairies in the sleepy village of Cottingley. A century later, we finally learn the true nature of these fey creatures. Correspondence has come to light that contains a harrowing account, written by village resident Lawrence Fairclough, laying bare the fairies’ sinister malevolence and spiteful intent. Darkness festers in the heart of rural England.
A gripping, enchanting tale from the bestselling author of Richard & Judy Book Club hit The Cold Season.
