A really great, well-researched article. Poor Sir Arthur Conan Doyle gets a mention or two, embarrassingly. Thre are some great links included within this article, just click on the blue bits of writing.

Great article. I remember seeing that fairies photo. I guess at that time using props and lighting tricks was fairly unheard of

But everyone knows that fairies die if you don't believe in them!

Hm, this reminds me of one Torchwood episode...

Clap your hands everyone! And say, ' I believe in fairies'.

Is that the Magic Faraway Tree?

Might be...

This summer I'm also building up a Groby Great Tree . Well, in fact it's just a hazelnut, but with a lot of things hanging in its branches.
