10 ebaharilikku last pogenevad ohtlike koletiste vae eest. Ainult uks isik voib neid aidata – kuid too on loksus linnukehas.
Erakordne seiklus, mis algas raamatus „Miss Peregrine’i kodu ebatavalistele lastele” jatkub Jacob Portmani ja tema uute soprade teekonnaga Londonisse, maailma uhte omaparaseimasse pealinna. Sealt loodavad nad leida arstirohtu lastekodu juhatajale miss Peregrine’ile. Selles sotta kistud linnas luuravad iga nurga taga oudustaratavad ullatused ja Jacob peab ebaharilikud lapsed valjapoole ohtu toimetama. „Tontide linn” viib lugejad fantaasia¬maailma, kus toimib telepaatia ning tuleb ette ajasilmuseid, kus kohtab ebaharilikke ja peletislikke elukaid. Nii nagu esimene, uhendab ka teine raamat poneva fantaasia varem avaldamata vanade fotodega, et luua ainulaadne lugemiselamus. Pinev, liigutav, imevaarselt kummaline lugu, kus suureparases kooskolas fotod ja tekst annavad unustamatu lugemiselamuse. Ransom Riggs kasvas ules Floridas, kuid nuud elab ebatavaliste laste kodukandis Los Angeleses. Ta lapsepolv moodus tondilugude ja briti komoodiate vaimutoidul, mis arvatavasti seletab tema raamatute temaatikat. Ransom Riggsi void alati leida twitter@ransomriggs.

Seiklus, mis algas romaaniga «Miss Peregrine'i kodu ebaharilikele lastele» ning jatkus «Tontide linnas», leiab oma poneva lopu «Hingede raamatukogus». Loo alguses avastab kuueteistaastane Jacob uue vageva voime ning peagi sukeldub ta labi ajaloo, et paasta oma ebatavalised kaaslased hastivalvatud kindlusest. Sellel teel saadavad Jacobit Emma Bloom, tudruk, kellel leegid alati kaeulatuses ja Addison MacHenry, koer, kellel on nina ebatavaliste laste valja nuuskimise peale. Nad randavad tanapaeva Londonist Vanakuradi aakri, Victoria-aegse Inglismaa naruseima aguli teederagastikku. See on koht, kus koikide ebatavaliste laste saatus loplikult otsustatakse. Nagu eelkaijad, uhendab «Hingede raamatukogu» poneva fantaasia avaldamata vanade fotodega, et luua ainukordne lugemiselamus.

J. A. Baker’s extraordinary classic of British nature writingDespite the association of peregrines with the wild, outer reaches of the British Isles, The Peregrine is set on the flat marshes of the Essex coast, where J A Baker spent a long winter looking and writing about the visitors from the uplands – peregrines that spend the winter hunting the huge flocks of pigeons and waders that share the desolate landscape with them.Including original diaries from which The Peregrine was written and its companion volume The Hill of Summer, this is a beautiful compendium of lyrical nature writing at its absolute best. Such luminaries as Richard Mabey, Robert Macfarlane, Ted Hughes and Andrew Motion have cited this as one of the most important books in 20th Century nature writing, and the bestselling author Mark Cocker has provided an introduction on the importance of Baker, his writings and the diaries – creating the essential volume of Baker's writings.Papers, maps, and letters have recently come to light which in turn provide a little more background into J A Baker’s history. Contemporaries – particularly from his time at school in Chelmsford – have provided insights, remembering a school friend who clearly made an impact on his generation.Among fragments of letters to Baker was one from a reader who praised a piece that Baker had written in RSPB Birds magazine in 1971. Apart from a paper on peregrines which Baker wrote for the Essex Bird Report, this article – entitled On the Essex Coast – appears to be his only other published piece of writing, and, with the agreement of the RSPB, it has been included in this updated new paperback edition of Baker’s astounding work.
