{"product_id":"the-fairy-ring-mary-losure-9780763656706","title":"The Fairy Ring: Or Elsie and Frances Fool the World","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrances 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this enthralling true story as a fanciful narrative featuring the original Cottingley fairy photos and previously unpublished drawings and images from the family's archives.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.\u003cbr\u003eBack matter includes source notes, a bibliography, and an index.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Losure\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0763656704\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780763656706\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Candlewick Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/27\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.40h x 5.60w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.9\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 3\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e150084 \/ Fairy Ring, Or, Elsie and Frances Fool the World\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Society of Midland Authors Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVoice of Youth Advocates\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2012 pg. 618 - Recommended - Readable\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/06\/2012 pg. 63\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2012 pg. 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2012 pg. 46\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2012 pg. 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist Ed Choice Youth\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2013 pg. 11\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2012 pg. 176 - Outstanding, Noteworthy In Style","brand":"Mary Losure","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43925939945727,"sku":"9780763656706","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_18c359b1-8960-4e38-b03c-37be28405319.jpg?v=1681080253","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-fairy-ring-mary-losure-9780763656706","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
