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'

I love the folly series and can’t wait for the next one to come out so was quite disappointed at this mish mash of regurgitated story lines... I felt that my credit was wasted and that the publishers are just trying to make more from less....

Saddened

I enjoy all of the Rivers of London and look forward to anything that comes out. This however was slightly lite to be justified as a standalone bit of work but still fun.

Good but a bit lite for a collection

interesting ideas/snippets etc, but many are quite obviously gathered to please a nagging publisher in an unpolished state... I would prefer they let the author produce a fully polished book in what ever time it needs. Thats not to say I didn't enjoy listening, as I really did enjoy them, they just seem like potentially wasted opportunities for something better.

I mourn the full books, poorer for loss of these..

Dedicated follower of fashion was very good.
Alex Kingston gave a fabulous accent.
Very enjoyable.

Just not long enough...more of everything please.

Nice little smorgasbord of Folly moments, leaving you hungry for more because they are simply not long enough.

Some good snippets
