Miss Wren's Menagerie for Peculiar Animals was Balenciaga Wren's original loop. The loop is believed to be the inspiration for one of the stories in the Tales of the Peculiar; a story about a giant named Cuthbert who lifted animals on top of a large mountain to protect them from hunters.
History[]
According to the Map of Days, the loop was the repetition of July 17, 1755. The loop was located in Western Wales. Miss Wren used the loop to house and protect peculiar animals, which were starting to decline in population. The wards lived in peace, though tragedy often broke the peace when some of the animals Miss Wren found died before she found them, or not long after.
Miss Wren would leave the loop right before the events of Hollow City. A couple days later, a hollowgast would wander into the loop. It was unable to get to the animals, since they all lived on a loop. The hollow would be killed by Alma Peregrine's wards. The group would eventually leave, leaving Claire Densmore and Fiona Frauenfeld behind.
Wights who had been tracking the kids since they had left their loop, would raid the loop a couple hours after they left. Deirdre the Emu-Raffe would be shot and killed trying to stop the wights from raiding Miss Wren's house. Claire would be kidnapped and Fiona would be thrown off the side of a mountain. Fiona would somehow survive the fall, and would be found by the weight's, who would kidnap her. After the weight's left, Addison left as well, trying to go and track down Miss Wren.
Since the loops location was no longer secure, and was on the brink of collapsing, Miss Wren would relocate the animals to a new loop. It is unknown what exactly happened to the rest of animals between the time of Addison's departure and Miss Wren's arrival, but Addison was able to leave before its collapse and he didn't seem to concerned about the rest of the animals.
Miss Grackle and her troupe of thespians did a production on Miss Wren and her menagerie, the Grass Menagerie.
Description[]
A very small house was perched on a very large tower constructed entirely from stacked-up railroad ties set smack in the middle of a grassy plateau. Around it on the plateau were scattered a few shacks and at the far end, there was a small patch of woods. There is a cemetery filled with the peculiar animals that died.
