About this listen

Return to the world of Rivers of London in this first short-story collection from number one Sunday Times best-selling author Ben Aaronovitch. Tales from the Folly is a carefully curated collection that gathers together previously published stories and brand new tales in the same place for the first time.

Each tale features a new introduction from the author, filled with insight and anecdote offering the listener a deeper exploration into this absorbing fictional world. This is a must-listen for any Rivers of London fan.

Join Peter, Nightingale, Abigail, Agent Reynolds and Tobias Winter for a series of perfectly portioned tales. Discover what's haunting a lonely motorway service station, who still wanders the shelves of a popular London bookshop and what exactly happened to the River Lugg.

With an introduction from internationally best-selling author of the Sookie Stackhouse series, Charlaine Harris.

This collection includes:

  • 'The Home Crowd Advantage'
  • 'The Domestic'
  • 'The Cockpit'
  • 'The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Granny'
  • 'King of the Rats'
  • 'A Rare Book of Cunning Device'
  • 'A Dedicated Follower of Fashion'
  • 'Favourite Uncle'
  • 'Vanessa Sommer's Other Christmas List'

Just a bit of fun between the main Rivers of London books. I particularly enjoyed Abigail's perspective so will look forward to the next novella What Abigail did last Summer.

Entertaining snippets from behind the scenes

For the cost at $14.95 ,this short books I purchased wasnt for me, sadly disappointing.
It was like reading Nursery Rhymes ,with no ending .

The rest of Bens books have ben more than Fantastic...., 100% Ben.

I just find short books annoying .
Bens past books had some great story lines with Kobna doing an awesome job with the narrations.

Come on Mr Aaronovitch, a lengthy book next time with some of the same characters (maybe introducing a few new characters ) ?

Not what I expected
