What is The mystery of the fool & the vanisher : being an investigation into the life and disappearance of Isaac Wilde, artist and fairy seeker about?
"Beautiful photographs are juxtaposed against subtly quiet text in this unusual fantasy." Kirkus Reviews Some say the English Downs are haunted by fairy creatures and that those who find a flint stone with a hole through it can look into the fairies' realm. It is just such a stone that leads photographer David Ellwand on a dark journey to the past, one that starts with a musty wooden chest and a nineteenth-century journal and ends with a disappearance as sudden as a vintage camera's flash. In this journal-within-a-journal, illustrated by Ellwand's exquisite photographs, lies a tale of archaeologists and fairies, human hubris and otherworldly revenge, the magic of the natural world and the mystery of the imagination.
