The Pigeons of Saint Paul's - This is the one from the main series. Rather interesting tale but it was so sad at the end. And soon find himself being lost to the sea as well. So she shops around - looking for the most haunted areas - so she could have company.Ĭocobolo - Set in ancient China, a boy loses his father to the sea. She's grown now but doesn't want to spend time with the living. The Woman Who Befriended Ghosts - Hildy spent her childhood in the company of her ghost-sister. Nice story, but it wasn't particularly interesting. The First Ymbryne - Medieval England tale - the very first Ymbryne discovers her power and her destiny. Despite this being a short story, I was really impressed by the development of the main character. The Fork-Tongued Princess - A princess with a forked-tongue learns several lessons about life and love. Soon comes a story of greed and loss -though not on the side you'd think. A group of hungry cannibals move in next door and are willing to pay. The Splendid Cannibal - A population of peculiars can regrow limbs at will. As with the original series, the powers are inventive, the plot is quirky and the stories are fun. There weren't as many stories as I expected (only 10). Throughout the Peculiar Children series, they refer to this storybook. I am (generally) not a fan of tie-in novels but consider me converted.
