Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children




A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. And a strange collection of vintage photographs. I stumbled across Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs recently and I'm still thinking about it. The fact that the author based the story around found photos from his collection fascinated me. As a collector myself I have often wondered about the stories behind anonymous photos. Part fantasy, part adventure, part eccentric photo collection, I think it is a story that will surprise and enchant many.
