THE
COTTINGLEY ELVES
The
story about the Cottingley - elves is the most fameous story of
them all about elves.
In
1917, there was two young girls, Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths,
who claimed to have taken photographs of elves that they had seen
and talked to, in Cottingley-Yorkshire. Several years later, in
1921, they admitted for the whole world, that the pictures was
just a fake. They had simply cut out pictures of elves from magazines,
and hanged it into trees. The girls told the press that they actually
had seen real elves, but couldn't get photos of them, so they
made this pictures instead.
Wouldn't
we all want this story to be true ??
The
picture on the top of this page is a real photo with one of the
girls, and if you're asking me, the girls have done a good job
with it, we're talking about the 20's here :o)
