Review: Tales of the Peculiar by Ransom Riggs

Author: Ransom Riggs
Published: September 3rd 2016
Date Read: December 19th – 20th 2016
Read In: English


Before Miss Peregrine gave them a home, the story of peculiars was written in the Tales.

Wealthy cannibals who dine on the discarded limbs of peculiars. A fork-tongued princess. The origins of the first ymbryne. These are but a few of the truly brilliant and haunting stories in Tales of the Peculiar – known to hide information about the peculiar world – first introduced by Ransom Riggs in his #1 bestselling Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children series.

Riggs now invites you to share his secrets of peculiar history, with a collection of original stories in this deluxe volume of Tales of the Peculiar, as collected and annotated by Millard Nullings, ward of Miss Peregrine and scholar of all things peculiar.




This book contains 10 stories:
 The Splendid Cannibals
 The Fork-Tongued Princess
 The First Ymbryne
 The Woman Who Befriended Ghosts
 Cocobolo
 The Pigeons of Saint Paul's
 The Girl Who Could Tame Nightmares
 The Locust
 The Boy Who Could Hold Back the Sea
 The Tale of Cuthbert

Some stories were better than others, but i liked this book a lot. It's a nice collection for readers of the Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children series. The Splendid Cannibals was a great choice for being the first story in this book, because it got me hooked immediately.
