Elsie moved to Cottingley, a small village in England, to stay with her aunt, uncle and cousin Frances. She missed her home in Africa because it was very cold in England. Elsie and Frances spent every day by the stream in the woods watching the fairies. They asked Uncle Arthur to lend them his camera to take photos of the fairies. The girls took the photos which were a surprise for Uncle Arthur.

It happed that a famous author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle saw their pictures and wrote an article about Frances and Elsie. The girls became famous but Frances didn’t like it. She asked Elsie to say everybody that it was all a big joke. Elsie didn’t like the idea because her mother thought it was wrong to tell lies.
