About this product

Product Information

A companion to the New York Times bestselling Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, now a major motion picture directed by Tim Burton . 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. These are but a few of the truly brilliant stories in Tales of the Peculiar--the collection of fairy tales known to hide information about the peculiar world, including clues to the locations of time loops--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. Featuring stunning illustrations from world-renowned woodcut artist Andrew Davidson this compelling and truly peculiar anthology is the perfect gift for not only fans, but for all booklovers. A perfect gift, reminiscent of classic bookmaking, this beautifully packaged volume features full-page woodcut illustrations, gold foil stamping, a ribbon, and removable back sticker. "[These tales] embody gentle, empowering messages: accept yourself and others; celebrate difference and oddity; never lose your sense of wonder." -- Financial Times "With a Victorian style for writing and a capacity for subtle humor, the tales read as cautionary fables, rich with peril and phantasy, and will be enjoyed by teens and adults alike." --GeekDad.com

"There is a poetic, timeless morality to these tales, like classic fables, but they all have a modern sensibility, a mischievous darkness and an understanding of what it feels like to be young." -- New York Times Book Review "[These tales] embody gentle, empowering messages: accept yourself and others; celebrate difference and oddity; never lose your sense of wonder." -- Financial Times Praise for the #1 Bestselling Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children series: A New York Times Bestseller A USA Today Bestseller A Wall Street Journal Bestseller "A visually rich literary experience." - New York Times Book Review "Boy, can Ransom Riggs tell a story." --NPR.org "Chilling, wondrous." - People " David Lynchian imagery, and rich eerie detail." -Entertainment Weekly "[A] thrilling, Tim Burton-esque tale with haunting photographs." -USA Today "Weirdly wonderful characters." -io9 "A tense, moving, and wondrously strange first novel.

I ordered 2 books from this seller; this one was exactly as described and in good condition. The other is even better, but covered in other feedback. I would say that this seller's books are in better condition than other online used bookstores for the same price. The books were well wrapped, again better than other online used bookstores. Shipping was free which is always a plus. The books came quickly considering sometimes roads are closed due to high winds here. Very happy with purchase!

    Lovin' It!

    As an editor, I find it hard to read many books. This one I just couldn't put down. The stories are well written, creative, not too long (which helps the reading to younger audiences) and NOT SCARY. Mostly, however, I love the moral that each story leaves with us. When you think of stories talking about cannibals, other oddities and rejection, it is a natural concern to wonder if these stories are truly suitable for children. Today's society has gone out of it's way to destroy the imagination of our children. Now, instead of reading, they game on wifi in their rooms. The stories they ARE allowed to be exposed to have been literarily changed and watered down. Cinderella, Snow White, Hansel & Gretel, even Little Red Riding Hood and her Big Bad Wolf seem to becomes friends in the ...

  • Engaging, thought-provoking: The Peculiars.

    I've read the whole series of books before this one came, so I had to have it. My son and grandson are both also great fans of this author and this sequence of novels. They are engaging, thought-provoking, and entertaining for children of all ages, 70 to 45 to 15.

  • Had a problem and they fixed it

    Order was cancelled because the book was out of stock. No message from them. I realized it almost two weeks after I ordered. I messaged them and they went the book free of charge. A little late for my daughter's birthday, I just had to tell her "it's coming".
