ericarobyn 's review for:

Tales of the Peculiar by Ransom Riggs
5.0

First of all, this book is absolutely stunning- the cover, the spine, the endpapers, the full page illustrations as well as the smaller ones, the fonts used- I loved everything! The attached ribbon bookmark was also a lovely touch.

Second, this collection was absolutely everything I was hoping for. It was like an Aesop's Fairy Tales collection for Peculiars. I loved every single one of the stories! I wish there were more!!

Third, I loved the illustrations from Andrew Davidson. Each one was wonderfully done and very fitting for the story they preceded.

Fourth, just the detail that was put into this book was perfect. I loved that it was "put together" and annotated by Millard Nullings. I thought that his forward was very Lemony Snicket-esque (which I loved). And I really enjoyed the first edition notice!

I would highly recommend this book for any Miss Peregrine fan.
