In this 1921 nonfiction work, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle defends the controversial "Cottingley Fairies," photographs claimed to be evidence of fairies taken by two Yorkshire girls in 1917. Despite the later admission of the girls that the images were faked, the public at the time, captivated by spiritualism, embraced them, largely influenced by Conan Doyle's advocacy. This exploration of the intersection between belief and skepticism offers insight into the early 20th-century fascination with the occult and remains a notable chapter in the author's legacy.
