A companion to the best-selling Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children soon to be a major motion picture directed by Tim Burton.

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 narration by Simon Callow this compelling and truly peculiar anthology is the perfect gift for not only fans but for all booklovers.Narrated by Simon Callow with Bruce Mann and Garrick Hagon “[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)
