Timepieces

Storytelling at its most intimate: real-life, cheerful, personal histories that take us back in time to reveal the extraordinary found in everyday life.Like listening to your charming great-aunt sharing a fascinating anecdote from the "good old days," Timepieces collects short, true, feel-good stories offering a slice-of-life glimpse of yesterday.Learn the games kids invented during the Great Depression in the Bronx, taste an egg cream, be at the bar the time Babe Ruth showed up unexpectedly in a family member's New York restaurant, smell the cigar the seltzer delivery man smoked.Illustrated with vintage personal photographs and filled with smile-inducing moments and historical facts, Timepieces brings multiple family histories throughout the twentieth century vividly to life.
