The "true story" this is supposedly based on is nothing more than a prank two young girls pulled in the late 1800s. All they did was photograph themselves with the "fairies" they found, which were later found out to be nothing more than story book cut-outs glued to hat pins.

Why isn't Mel Gibson properly credited in the actor's list in the movie? (didn't he want to show his name?!)

shareWell, Fairytale was made by his production company, Icon Productions, so perhaps he thought it'd be a bit self-indulgent to give himself a credit for a role that's (presumably; I haven't seen the film) not much more than a cameo, in a movie where he's the "boss", as it were.

Maybe the fairies were "fake but accurate" -- like Dan Rather's memos about George W. Bush's 1972 miltary records that were re-created in 2004.

But it is "true" in the sense that it is not a created fictional storyline.
