"The Coming of the Fairies" - the book

Has anyone read this book?



I`m trying desperately to find a hardcover copy of it (which i think was last made in 1997),
i know a new edition will be out this october, but it`s only paperback shake

For those who are interested in learning more about the Cottingley fairies:

Wasn't there a movie made from this book? I can't remember the title but I do remember the movies was about the little girls and their fairies. wink

biggrin i believe you may enjoy a book that i love


and the follow up edition...

The Cottington Archive reluctantly announces that more information about the infamous Lady Cottington has surfaced: a scrapbook compiled by the fairy smasher herself of her correspondence with luminaries such as Queen Victoria, Annie Oakley, Igor Stravinsky, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Andrew Lang, P.T. Barnum, and more. All about fairies, these hilarious letters contain everything from wisdom to suggestions to chastisement. Lady Cottington has made notes in the margins—not to mention smashed fairies throughout (will she EVER STOP this nasty habit?!). And the fairies . . . ah, the fairies . . . they too have done their part, sprinkling magic and mayhem throughout.

Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Letters, a facsimile reproduction of Lady Cottington's original volume, combines the nutty artistry of the first two Lady Cottington books, with delightful novelty components. Containing “actual” letters, invoices for “spiritual services,” a fairy valentine, an invitation from Alice Liddell to tea, and more, this newest interactive addition to the Lady Cottington series is the most innovative to date.

Thank you MoonSong hug i`ve sent an e-mail requesting international shipping pray

emm, i will look into those books, i hope they are a lot easier to find smile
Thank you for the recommandations hug
The first book had a beautiful cover by the way... The cover of the book is very important, that`s why i don`t like the paperbacks, they look kinda cheap.

and yes, there is a movie called "Fairy tale - a true story" starring Peter O`Toole, based on the Cottingley fairies, i`ll have to get that one too nod
