Book Description
The enchanting true story of a girl who saw fairies, and another with a gift for art, who concocted a story to stay out of trouble and ended up fooling the world. Frances was nine when she first saw the fairies. They were tiny men, dressed all in green. Nobody but Frances saw them, so her cousin Elsie painted paper fairies and took photographs of them “dancing” around Frances to make the grown-ups stop teasing. The girls promised each other they would never, ever tell that the photos weren’t real. But how were Frances and Elsie supposed to know that their photographs would fall into the hands of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle? And who would have dreamed that the man who created the famous detective Sherlock Holmes believed ardently in fairies — and wanted very much to see one? Mary Losure presents this enthralling true story as a fanciful narrative featuring the original Cottingley fairy photos and previously unpublished drawings and images from the family’s archives. A delight for everyone with a fondness for fairies, and for anyone who has ever started something that spun out of control. Back matter includes source notes and a bibliography.

Book Description
Debut novelist Kiki Hamilton takes readers from the gritty slums and glittering ballrooms of Victorian London to the beguiling but menacing Otherworld of the Fey in this spellbinding tale of romance, suspense, and danger. The year is 1871, and Tiki has been making a home for herself and her family of orphans in a deserted hideaway adjoining Charing Cross Station in central London. Their only means of survival is by picking pockets. One December night, Tiki steals a ring, and sets off a chain of events that could lead to all-out war with the Fey. For the ring belongs to Queen Victoria, and it binds the rulers of England and the realm of Faerie to peace. With the ring missing, a rebel group of faeries hopes to break the treaty with dark magic and blood—Tiki's blood. Unbeknownst to Tiki, she is being watched—and protected—by Rieker, a fellow thief who suspects she is involved in the disappearance of the ring. Rieker has secrets of his own, and Tiki is not all that she appears to be. Her very existence haunts Prince Leopold, the Queen's son, who is driven to know more about the mysterious mark that encircles her wrist. Prince, pauper, and thief—all must work together to secure the treaty...

ISSN: 2397-9607 Issue 342 In this 342nd issue of the Baba Indaba?s Children's Stories series, Baba Indaba narrates the Fairy Tale "THE FAIRY RING?. ONCE upon a time, long, long ago and far, far away, a little old man with a violin tucked under his arm shuffled down the attic steps and the many flights of stairs until finally he reached the streets. As he shuffled down the street, he clutched his coat tightly about his throat, for the air was chill and he felt the cold. At the first street corner he stopped and placed his violin to his shoulder to play, but catching a glance from the policeman across the street he hastily tucked his violin under his arm and shuffled on. He walked a great distance before he again stopped. It was a busy corner where hundreds of people passed every few minutes, but when he played no one stopped to listen to his music, much less to drop anything in the tiny tin cup he had placed on the sidewalk before him. Tears came to the poor little old man's eyes; everyone was too busy to stop to hear his music. At the end of the day he returned to the small attic apartment where he and his aging sister lived with hardly a coin in his pocket. He sat on the bed to play one of her favourite tunes and that?s when things began to happen! What happened next you ask?? Well many things happened, some fun and some serious.

ISSN: 2397-9607 Issue 271 In this 271st ÿissue of the Baba Indaba?s Children's Stories series, Baba Indaba narrates the Greek fairy tale of ?THE FAIRY RING.? ONCE upon a time, long, long ago in far, far away Greece, the name PETROS GOURAS rang through all the Peloponnesus, and every tongue that spoke it spoke in praise and every ear that heard it listened in admiration. Petros came of a noble family of warriors, rich and powerful, with lands, herds, gold, and rare beauty of form and feature, as his heritage. Three days after the birth of Petros, his fairy grandmother, Selena, came to offer blessings and gifts. She brought her grandson a bag of incense and hung it about his neck to protect him from evil. Three kisses she gave him for the Holy Trinity and then from her leather bag she drew a ring. It was a ring such as no one in all that country had ever seen. The gold band was delicately fashioned and engraved with strange figures, and the jewel caught the light in its crimson heart and flashed it out again with dazzling radiance. "This is my gift to my grandson," said Selena as she kissed the ring three times. "He shall not put it on his finger until the day he is twenty-one years old, for only then will he be strong enough and wise enough to wear it." She made the sign of the cross upon the head of the child. ÿShe didn?t say what would happen to Petros should he dare to wear the ring before he turned twenty-one. However, our story starts further back in time with Grandmother Selena, a fairy Princess, first meeting Pan gos Gouras one day on the Eagle's Hill. Her heart was forever won by this mortal and she renounced her throne and her home to marry Pan gos and live in the realms of humans. What consequences would this breaking the sacred boundary between the realm of the fairies and that of mortals have on the families of both? You?ll have to download and read the story to find out how this all worked out in the end.

"I like to view myself as a explorer of the fairy realm, always on the lookout for new and unknown creatures, writing down my experiences in my log book, which I have now decided to share with the world in The Secret of the Fairies. One of my fairy friends is LadyByrd, whom I've given this name because of her wondrous feathered wings all in exquisite blues, greens, and reds, streaked with hints of orange. It's very striking to see her wings outstretched and catching the light, setting in motion a brilliant dance of colours on her feathers. You could say she's an oddity or, as she would put it, unique among her kind, preferring the company of humans to other faes."
