The Coming of the Fairies

Více o knize

Fascinated by the occult later in life, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle defends the controversial "Cottingley Fairies" photographs, which were claimed to depict real fairies taken by two Yorkshire girls in 1917. Despite the photographers admitting in the 1980s that the images were faked, Conan Doyle's 1921 nonfiction work explores the public's intrigue with spiritualism and the fervent belief in the supernatural during that era, showcasing his commitment to defending what he viewed as genuine evidence of the mystical.
