Photographing Fairies: A Novel
In 1920s England, an American photographer is out to capture proof that fairies are real—despite the opposition of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

In the 1920s, a country policeman, Constable Michael Walsmear, pushes his way into the London studio of Charles Castle, the world‑famous American photographer, to show him some pictures. What Castle sees in Walsmear’s pictures is incredible. When he goes to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle for verification of the faerie images found on the negatives, Doyle tries to bribe Castle to destroy the pictures. But Castle will not be bought; he is out to discover the truth. And it is truth he finds in the small village of Burkinwell, a village built upon secrets, strange sexual practices, beautiful gardens, and true human nature.
