<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>With the candid quirkiness of "Awkward Family Photos" and the confessional intimacy of "PostSecret, Talking Pictures" is a haunting collection of antique photographs--with evocative inscriptions that bring these lost personal moments to life.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>With the candid quirkiness of <em>Awkward Family Photos </em>and the confessional intimacy of <em>PostSecret</em>, Ransom Riggs's <em>Talking Pictures </em>is a haunting collection of antique found photographs--with evocative inscriptions that bring these lost personal moments to life--from the author of the <em>New York Times </em>bestselling illustrated novel <em>Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children</em>. Each image in <em>Talking Pictures</em> 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/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>With the candid quirkiness of <em>Awkward Family Photos</em> and the confessional intimacy of <em>PostSecret</em>, Ransom Riggs's <em>Talking Pictures</em> is a haunting collection of antique found photographs--with evocative inscriptions that bring these lost personal moments to life--from the author of the <em>New York Times</em> bestselling illustrated novel <em>Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children</em>.
