THE LIGHT BURNS BLUE
“Do you love what you do? Because I love making the photographs. I love the feeling of taking charge. Putting things in the frame, taking them out again. Writing with my eyes.”
During the First World War, seventeen-year-old Elsie Wright fools the world into believing she has photographed fairies in her garden. An ambitious young reporter seeks to expose Elsie as a fraud. But as she looks at the facts, she begins to think there’s more to Elsie’s story than a simple hoax.
