Music, book and lyrics by Paul Graham Brown. Freely adapted from the true story of the 1917 Cottingley Fairies, this enchanting musical shows the consequences of telling "fairystories" in the form of forged photographs of fairies. Once the photographs are authenticated and publicised by famous author, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the world becomes enthralled by the photos and the two children who took them. But the photos have heartbreaking consequences for those surrounding them.
