A fork-tongued princess. A boy who can control the currents of the sea. Cannibals who feast on the limbs of a village of peculiars. These are just a few of the brilliant stories to be found in [[''Tales of the Peculiar'', all of which hold mystical information about the peculiar world - a place familiar to many of us since its first introduction by Ransom Riggs in [[Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs|Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children]]. The stories in this collection explore peculiar history and folklore in a wonderfully imaginative way, and also include some beautiful illustrations to accompany each of the tales.
Ransom Riggs has successfully created a selection of stories that manages to be both delightful but also educational. The stories and the world of the peculiars are of course fictional, but that doesn't mean the morals of these tales lose any of their merit. At their core they explore ideas concerning fate and destiny, finding love, the dangers of possessing a peculiar talent, fighting prejudice and sticking to your principles. Plus, they are thoroughly enjoyable to read! The writing style is sophisticated and thoughtful, with each story feeling more imaginative and quirky than the last.
