Watercolour ";Where Fairytales Begin"; by Shirley A Thompson.
Courtesy Mrs. V. Youell
It is late spring in 1917. Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths lazily read and daydream in the
sunshine on the banks of Cottingley Beck. Seed heads blown from a dandelion puff drift fairylike
across the water - imagination takes flight and a fairytale begins.
