Synopsis: | A story of intrigue, magic and humour based on actual events. What happens when Houdini discovers a magic trick he cannot perform? When Sir Arthur Conan Doyle encounters a mystery that baffles even Sherlock Holmes? These two legendary men join forces to unravel the greatest riddle of the 20th Century. Their rivals? Two young girls. Did Frances and Elsie really photograph fairies, or was theirs just the world's most elaborate hoax? As Houdini and Conan Doyle search for answers, they are ensnared in the puzzle they are trying to solve - a secret as deadly as Baskerville Hound and as fine as a gossamer web. Two famous men. Two young girls. A mystery that stretches from Australia to Buckingham Palace. This is a story guaranteed to astonish and amaze you. And this one is true! | |||||

Synopsis: | In 1945 Sheila and Bridie were freed from a Japanese POW camp in the jungles of Sumatra where thousands of women and children had lived and died virtually forgotten by their own governments. Now, after being separated for half a century, the filming of a television documentary forces them to relive the past, contact the present and question the future. Woven into their fifty years of separation are a shoe-horn and the threads of loyalty and love which form their 'uncommon bond' | |||||
