( )An exquisite little book of illustrated postcards and letters (including the actual letters in envelopes), which tells of the first correspondence between two artists, one of whom has been dreaming the other's art for years. Taking the letters out of the envelopes, unfolding and reading them, and returning them lends an intimacy to the story which lingers long after. Simply beautiful, and a unique experience. An extraordinary little book. Gorgeous to look at and magical to read. Using just a few words and some wonderful art, Bantock gives us a peak into a private but a familiar place. I don't know what to say about this odd little book. I read it the day I bought it (it doesn't take long), and was the sense of forensic snooping, trying to get into the head of someone I've never met, was delicious. The unavoidable tactile nature of this book adds to the effect. And the conclusion is both startling and expected. I had no choice but to start the sequel immediately. Os. Clever concept and attractive art work but not a successful effort, in my opinion. The "mysterious" relationship between Griffin and Sabine strains credulity and is not moving over into fantasy or science fiction either. no reviews | add a review

| Book description |
|
But Griffin had never met a woman named Sabine. How did she know him? How did she know his artwork? Who is she? Thus begins the strange and intriguing correspondence of Griffin and Sabine. And since each letter must be pulled from its own envelope, the reader has the delightful, forbidden sensation of reading someone else's mail. Griffin & Sabine is like no other illustrated novel: appealing to the poet and artist in everyone and sure to inspire a renaissance in the fine art of letter-writing, it tells an extraordinary story in an extraordinary way.
