The Cottingley Secret by Hazel Gaynor
3.0
3.5
Maybe I just wasn’t in the mood for such a slow moving book?
I found this slow and difficult to get into. I was keen to read this book as it’s based on real events but maybe I should have known that a book about fairies wouldn’t hold my interest.
I did feel like it was unnecessarily drawn out as well. I hadn’t heard of Cottingly fairies before but as soon as I saw the photo in the first few pages I guessed what had happened; turns out my guess was correct so it made for a bit of a tedious slog through. I reckon the book could have been half the length.
