Features

30 The Cottingley Centenary (cover story)
In July 1917, Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths claimed to have captured real fairies on film. One hundred years on, Fiona Maher asks who was fooling whom in this classic case.

36 Tessa Farmer's Fairyland
Catriona McAra explores the menacing, miniature world of sculptor and animator Tessa Farmer, where skeletal fairies interact with a world made of road-kill and antique taxidermy.

40 The Summer of Love
Did San Francisco witness a psychedelic shift in consciousness that reverberates today, or was it a social experiment that ended in drug abuse and disillusion? Gary Lachman turns on, tunes in and goes back to 1967 in search of enlightenment.
