| Plot: | Based on factual accounts, this is the story of two young girls that, somehow, have the ability to take pictures of winged beings... which certainly causes quite a stir throughout England during the time of the first World War. Everyone, except the girls who think it's quite normal, are excited about this "photographic proof" that fairies exist... even the great Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Harry Houdini pay the girls a visit. |

Quotes
|
Harry Houdini: Anything can be faked by anyone. Harry Houdini: Never try to fool children. They expect nothing and therefore see everything. Harry Houdini: Cover your ass! Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: Cover my what? Polly Wright: I don't know which frightens me more, that the children are lying or that they are telling the truth. Polly Wright: Frances, I've been down the beck a hundred times. Why haven't I ever seen any of them? Frances Griffiths: Grownups don't know how to believe. Edward Gardner: The photographs... they're genuine, then? Harold Snelling: As the King's beard. |
