One photograph taken by Miss Wright in the summer of nineteen seventeen when she was sixteen shows her cousin, then a child of ten, with a group of four fairies dancing in the air before her, and in the other, taken some months afterwards, Elsie, seated on the grass, has a quaint gnome dancing beside her.

first i interviewed mrs wright who without hesitation narrated the whole of the circumstances without adding any comments the girls she said would spend the whole of the day in the narrow valley even taking their lunch with them though they were within a stone's throw of the house elsie was not robust and did not walk during the summer months so that she could derive as much benefit as possible from playing in the open She had often talked about seeing the fairies, but her parents considered it was nothing more than children's fancy, and let it pass.
