Public reaction was mixed some accepted the images as genuine, others believed that they had been faked. Doyle, as a spiritualist, was enthusiastic about the photographs and interpreted them as clear and visible evidence of psychic phenomena. The pictures came to the attention of writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who used them to illustrate an article on fairies he had been commissioned to write for the Christmas 1920 edition of The Strand Magazine. In 1917, when the first two photographs were taken, Elsie was 16 years old and Frances was 9. The Cottingley Fairies appear in a series of five photographs taken by Elsie Wright (1901–1988) and Frances Griffiths (1907–1986), two young cousins who lived in Cottingley, near Bradford in England.

Yes. ![]() I’ve always felt conflicted about boss/assistant romances because I used to be an Executive Assistant and the actual power imbalance is dangerous, and the idea of hooking up with a boss is gross. I enjoyed the competence of the heroine Aurora aka Rory, a go-getter and hard worker who knows how capable she is and easily handled her boss, Luis Pine. In some places it felt more like summarizing, but not (always) in a bad way*. Like the character was recounting something that happened, rather than reacting to it in the moment. The writing style was… kind of like storytelling. It was very short, for one - only 130 Kindle pages - and it was split into two parts, the first from the heroine’s POV, the second from the hero’s. The way this book was written was SUPER unique. ![]() ![]() ![]() Artistically inclined since childhood, Rackham started illustrating for newspapers, but it was not until he began drawing for children's literature that he received critical acclaim.

Some attribute twin films to industrial espionage, the movement of staff between studios, or that the same screenplays are sent to several film studios before being accepted. ![]() The phenomenon can result from two or more production companies investing in similar scripts at the same time, resulting in a race to distribute the films to audiences. ![]() Twin films are films with the same or similar plots produced and released at the same time by two different film studios. ![]() |
