My books came quick as a bunny, I loved these books when I was younger, and somehow my mother’s copies got lost. Happy to have them back again in the complete set. Great value, really interesting reading. I love epistolary novels!!

After recently reading a book that was written all in letters back and forth it reminded me of Griffin and Sabine that I had read years before. I looked for and purchased it and was just as enthralled reading it the second time. This book is based on a correspondence between two people and it is told thru their letters to one another. But rather than just have the letters printed on the page - there are actual envelopes to be opened, letters unfolded and read as if you've found them in a great aunts trunk. Just the feel of holding a letter in your hand is a tactile pleasure that is worth the price of admission.
One of the most magical and charming series of books ....visually stunning and a love story

I liked this book very much. From an artist's point of view, it was both visually interesting, and the mystery aspect held my interest. The ending had that let-down aspect, but it just made me look forward to reading the second book in the trilogy. An artist friend told me about the Bantock books, so I began looking for them on ebay. I bought this book at auction, and the other two as well. There seemed to be a good amount of interest in these books. I have since bought two more of Bantock's books and am looking for others.
Griffin and Sabine is a perfect book for anyone who has an appreciation for the truly creative and fantastical. The story, told through post cards and letters sent between two "strangers," is mystical and shrouded in mystery. Conceptually, this is a true original. In addition, the artwork is breathtaking. This is the kind of book for which you could make up your own stories by following the pictures. Definitely a treasure.
