Ransom Riggs Biography

Ransom Riggs is an American author and filmmaker best known for his debut novel "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children." Riggs graduated from Kenyon College in Ohio with a degree in English literature. After graduation, he worked in various jobs such as copy editor, script reader, and busboy before focusing on writing. In 2011, Riggs released his debut novel "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children," which became a New York Times bestseller. The book features a collection of vintage photographs that Riggs collected and used as inspiration for the story. The novel tells the story of a young boy who discovers an abandoned orphanage on a Welsh island home to a group of children with peculiar abilities. The book was later adapted into a film by Tim Burton in 2016. Riggs continued the story with two more novels in the series, "Hollow City" and "Library of Souls." His other works include "Tales of the Peculiar," a collection of short stories set in the same universe as "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children," and "The Conference of the Birds," the fifth book in the series.
