Cottingley by Alison Littlewood

5.0

Beautifully written in increasingly frantic letters from a grandfather haunted by the Cottingley fairies and the havoc they wreak upon his household. The early 1900s language is spot on, descriptions lyrical, the suspense palpable. Ignore the lurid cover; this novella is a subtle delight. Read it by a crackly fire on an autumn night, or better yet, on the banks of a sunny Yorkshire beck.
