"I found a picture of some old long-dead person who reminded me of a girl I had a crush on at camp," said Riggs, who lives in Los Angeles. Riggs' fascination with old photographs came from his childhood in Englewood and trips with his grandmother to the old domed flea market in Venice, where they would rummage through bins full of photos. I try to make the photos tell a narrative in relation to one another." "Talking Picture," said Riggs, "is kind of a narrative the pictures tell their own stories of war, love and marriage, times and trouble.
The book has no fictional narrative attached to it, which can be confusing for fans of "Miss Peregrine," said Riggs, who will be in Sarasota next weekend for a book signing tied to the paperback release of "Miss Peregrine." (The second volume in the "Peregrine" series is due out this summer.)
The odd photographs of young children from bygone times that inspired author and Pine View School graduate Ransom Riggs to write his first young-adult novel, "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children," have proven to be the foundation for another book, this time a coffee-table collection titled "Talking Pictures."
