Tales of the Peculiar

(3) YA Illustrated by Andrew Davidson. From the author of the adult series Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children, comes a collection of "folklore" of peculiars. The ten fascinating short stories focus on outcast characters that overcome adversity. Purportedly edited and (footnoted) by "Millard Nullings," an invisible ward of Miss Peregrine's, each tale opens with a detailed, full-page black-and-white woodblock illustration that adds to its air of mystery.
