Kids Books - History

Frances moved from south Africa to England to live with her cousins, while her father went to fight in the first world war. In summer she and her cousin, Elsie often when down to the brook behind there house to play. When one day, while she was waiting for Elsie to get off work, she sees a little man walking along the bank on the other bank. She didn't tell anyone, but the fairies keep appearing, sometimes even when Elsie is around. One day, her mother tells her she wished she stayed out of the brook, and that it was very unladylike. Frances said she goes there because of the fairies, and her mother cant believe it!! Her daughter lying to her! then elsie claims to have seen them too. " Then why not take a picture of them?". A few weeks later, when Frances gets home from school, Elsie shows her a ring of dancing fairies cut out from paper. Borrowing Elsie's father's camera, they rush to the brook and take a picture. Once it is developed, no one teases them for awhile. Everyone thinks it to be real!! Eventually they take a 2nd picture; this one of a gnome. then one day Frances' mother was at a lecture, the speaker of witch, believed fairies to be real! Frances's mother speaks with the man afterwards, and sends him the 2 pictures. they end up in a magazine, TONS of people believe it to be true. no one finds out the secret until much later. I like this book although, its hard to tell whats real and whats made up. . . . .And it can be a bit random at times, but otherwise its pretty good.
