Later one admitted they had created it.

I was so fascinated by this photo as a child that I wrote a book about it as an adult! #TheCottingleySecret #Cottingleyfairies
That's a great clip - actually rather moving. There's a chapter on the #CottingleyFairies in my new book that I'll be unveiling later this week. And one on #PiltdownMan as well. Among plenty of 'proper' history stuff, of course.

Your strange fact of the day: 🧟 The Cottingley Fairies were a series of photographs taken in the early 20th century, claiming to show real fairies. #CottingleyFairies #Hoax #FairyTales
HOO-HA! highlights: Chapter 3 looks at the strange, strangely charming rumpus surrounding the #CottingleyFairies , which sucked Sir Arthur Conan Doyle into joining their fan club. Touches on my all-time No.1 book #FolkloreMythsAndLegendsofBritain - a treasure-trove of weirdness!
