The inspiring true story of Loïe Fuller, a radical nineteenth-century art nouveau icon who turned artificial light into performance art and became the incandescent inventor of modern dance.
In a new era lit by Edison bulbs, Loïe Fuller was the quicksilver that connected scientific and artistic inspiration. In a flurry of shifting lights and serpentine spins, she inspired the earliest films of Georges Méliès and held Jean Cocteau spellbound. She even sought out the Curies for a radioactive showstopper. In this transportive and hypnotic historical narrative, the uninhibited Folies Bergère superstar la fée lumière is finally restored to her shimmering, glorious place in modern history.
The Electricity Fairy is part of Inventions Untold Stories of the Beautiful Era, a collection of incredible true stories from the belle epoque, an age of innovation, daring, bluster, and beauty when anything seemed possible. Each piece can be read, listened to, and marveled at in a single sitting.

The Electricity Fairy Inventions Untold Stories of the Beautiful Era collection eBook Alex Mar Reviews
- It's a short book filed with the life of a creative woman. I wished we knew more, but the story is interesting nonetheless.
- Fascinating story about the most famous person from Fullersburg Illinois!
- This short book is one of the three Inventions originals series books out this month. I greatly enjoyed the Jump book. This book wasn't as interesting for me. A great part of it spends time describing her dance style. After a while it gets boring. While the lady was an artiste, she was adamantly opposed to efforts to put her performances on the media of film. Copycats filled that bill for Edison. The sections on Thomas Edison and Marie Cutie were more interesting for me. Amy McFadden was excellent on the narration, but I felt it could've been trimmed a bit for the redundant dance descriptions.
- The descriptions in this book were so beautifully detailed they created beautiful images in the mind despite all pictures being in black and white. I can’t even imagine how breathtaking it must have been to see this woman perform in person. I can’t believe that she had a relationship with the Curies and how even Edison wanted to photograph her. She was so famous during her time, it’s crazy to have never heard her name. I loved how she made her own destiny and how she always fought to be the best and fought for her own identity. She was protective of her art.
- Ms. Mar creates a breathtaking image from the turning point of the 20th century. Bringing to life the amazing creativity of Loïe Fuller and the myriad synchronicities between the sciences and arts at the fin de sciecle; evoking an adrenaline rush one seldom encounters in "dry" history. The accompanying photos are priceless to the narrative.
- Very intriguing story combining one of early pioneers of modern dance, the early life and inventions of Thomas Edison and the amazing innovative discoveries of Marie Curie. The addition of historic photos help to bring the story to life along with Alex Mar's fascinating writing.
- The electricity fairy tell the story of Love Fuller in a light prose, still including vivid descriptions and figurative language that allow the reader to form pictures of what is being described.
The story includes the notorious addition T. Edison and the Curie's couple story as they interlink path with Fuller.
Is a short book easily complete from beginning to end in less than an hour or listen to in audiobook form in about same time. - I am always fascinated to learn more about life in earlier eras. This book gave a concise and thoughtful look at some of the overlooked aspects of the turn of the last century.
The author did a very good job a pointing out how people so science as magic and then how science was used In a destructive way during WW1.
