A note for parents
This is a companion short-story collection to the Miss Peregrine series, presenting fairy tales and folklore from the peculiar world. While the stories contain some dark and eerie elements typical of fairy tales (cannibals, strange creatures, danger), the content is presented in a literary, storybook style rather than graphically. The book rewards cleverness, resilience, and community, and offers cultural/fantastical worldbuilding value for readers already familiar with the series or interested in darker fantasy.
