{"product_id":"the-coming-of-the-fairies-arthur-conan-doyle-9780803266551","title":"The Coming of the Fairies","description":"Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930), best known as the author of Sherlock Holmes stories but also a devout spiritualist, was entirely convinced by a set of photographs apparently showing two young girls from Cottingley in Yorkshire playing with a group of tiny, translucent fairies. To demonstrate his unshakeable belief in the spirit world, he published \u003ci\u003eThe Coming of the Fairies\u003c\/i\u003e in 1922. Doyle's book lays out the story of the photographs, their supposed provenance, and the implications of their existence. This quirky and fascinating book allows us to get inside the mind of an intelligent, highly respected man who happened to believe in fairies. \u003cp\u003eJohn M. Lynch's introduction to this Bison Books edition provides the background to appreciate Doyle's claims and, without supporting the existence of fairies, to understand why Doyle wanted them to exist. The photographs of the fairies are reproduced in their entirety, with the original captions, offering readers an opportunity to examine Doyle's and his supporters' claims to their authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arthur Conan Doyle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803266553\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803266551\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bison Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 189\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.06h x 5.34w x 0.49d","brand":"Arthur Conan Doyle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995604123903,"sku":"9780803266551","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_341a419d-a258-4302-8dfc-3b1342d178ad.jpg?v=1683336747","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-coming-of-the-fairies-arthur-conan-doyle-9780803266551","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
