Frances and the Fairies
Posted on July 31, 2009
When I was little I loved that idea of the fairies living in the garden and was fascinated about Frances and the Fairies and all the way back to 1917. I so wanted this to be true but the think was it was so believable and when you look back now an act of sheer brilliance.
The two sisters always claimed they could not photograph the fairies when anyone else was watching. No one else could photograph the fairies.

Photo boffins at the time said that none of the negatives had been fiddled with and fairies in photo that were moving and slightly blurry could no way be faked , no one seemed to even entertain at all that they were paper cut-outs fastened on the bush, jiggling slightly in the breeze.
Todat it is quite teh reverse and what with modern advancements hardly anyone can look at these photos today and accept them as anything but fakes.
I just really wanted to believe it was true
