About this listen

Return to the world of Rivers of London in this first short-story collection from number one Sunday Times best-selling author Ben Aaronovitch. Tales from the Folly is a carefully curated collection that gathers together previously published stories and brand new tales in the same place for the first time.

Each tale features a new introduction from the author, filled with insight and anecdote offering the listener a deeper exploration into this absorbing fictional world. This is a must-listen for any Rivers of London fan.

Join Peter, Nightingale, Abigail, Agent Reynolds and Tobias Winter for a series of perfectly portioned tales. Discover what's haunting a lonely motorway service station, who still wanders the shelves of a popular London bookshop and what exactly happened to the River Lugg.

With an introduction from internationally best-selling author of the Sookie Stackhouse series, Charlaine Harris.

This collection includes:

  • 'The Home Crowd Advantage'
  • 'The Domestic'
  • 'The Cockpit'
  • 'The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Granny'
  • 'King of the Rats'
  • 'A Rare Book of Cunning Device'
  • 'A Dedicated Follower of Fashion'
  • 'Favourite Uncle'
  • 'Vanessa Sommer's Other Christmas List'
  • 'Three Rivers, Two Husbands and a Baby'
  • 'Moments One, Two and Three'

I love the folly series and can’t wait for the next one to come out so was quite disappointed at this mish mash of regurgitated story lines... I felt that my credit was wasted and that the publishers are just trying to make more from less....

Saddened

I enjoy all of the Rivers of London and look forward to anything that comes out. This however was slightly lite to be justified as a standalone bit of work but still fun.

Good but a bit lite for a collection

What a wonderful surprise!

This was a delight to listen to. A whole cast of characters, including those who are featured periherally in the books, are brought to life in this collection. I particularly enjoyed 'Favourite Uncle' and the 'moments' at the end of the book.
Can't wait for the next collection!

Lovely collection of backstories
