And that hunt involves clues, from an unopened white box to a small red notebook to calls from Clare’s mother at home.

To her singing in the shower every morning, dancing in the kitchen while she makes coffee, and doing yoga in our living room, I can’t stop thinking about her in all the wrong ways.

The pictures came to the attention of writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who used them to illustrate an article on fairies he had been commissioned to write for the Christmas 1920 edition of The Strand Magazine. In 1917, when the first two photographs were taken, Elsie was 16 years old and Frances was 9. The Cottingley Fairies appear in a series of five photographs taken by Elsie Wright (1901–1988) and Frances Griffiths (1907–1986), two young cousins who lived in Cottingley, near Bradford in England. *** The book: Scarce and very nice first US edition of this book on The Cottingley Fairies.
