Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook edition of Tales of the Peculiar by Ransom Riggs, read by Simon Callow, Garrick Hagon, Bruce Mann.

In this collection of fairy tales, Ransom Riggs invites you to uncover hidden legends of the peculiar world. A fork-tongued princess, a girl who talks to ghosts, and wealthy cannibals who dine on the discarded limbs of peculiars are just a few of the characters whose stories will have you hooked.

This compelling, rich and truly peculiar anthology is the perfect gift for fans - and for all lovers of great storytelling.

See the movie! Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, directed by the visionary Tim Burton and starring Judi Dench, Eva Green and Samuel L Jackson, will be released Summer 2016.

Praise for Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children:
'A tense, moving, and wondrously strange first novel. The photographs and text work together brilliantly to create an unforgettable story.' John Green, author of The Fault in Our Stars

I love Ransom Riggs and always enjoy his writing. I listen to a lot of audio books and Simon ist the best narrator I have ever listened to. I love his voice, his intonation and speed are fantastic and he can do accents really well! I can only recommend this book!

Amazing author and narrator

Loved hearing Millard's defining collection of the Peculiar Tales. Simon Callow's marvellous treacly, plummy accent fits perfectly.

A little bit fabulous, each and every one!

loved these stories from the peculiar world. They are fables with originality but still seems familiar in a way.

My kids and me kept listening to the story in the car even though our journey was long finished. We enjoyed each of the stories in the book and we are looking forward to any future books from Ransom. Keep up the good work.

Brilliant stories couldn't stop listening to it
