Talking Pictures: Images and Messages Rescued from the Past


<p>With the candid quirkiness of <b>Awkward Family Photos</b> and the confessional intimacy of <b>PostSecret</b>, Ransom Riggs's <b>Talking Pictures</b> is a haunting collection of antique found photographs—with evocative inscriptions that bring these lost personal moments to life—from the author of the <b>New York Times</b> bestselling illustrated novel <b>Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children</b>. Each image in <b>Talking Pictures</b> reveals a singular, frozen moment in a person's life, be it joyful, quiet, or steeped in sorrow. Yet the book's unique depth comes from the writing accompanying each photo: as with the caption revealing how one seemingly random snapshot of a dancing couple captured the first dance of their 40-year marriage, each successive inscription shines like a flashbulb illuminating a photograph's particular context and lighting up our connection to the past.</p>
