This one pretty much mimicked the first book. The problem seems to be that since the books are written as a correspondence, the writers can never meet, because it would be pretty silly to be writing each other letters or sending post cards from the same house.

I am still very curious about what's actually going on here and it did get a little more fantastical and surreal, which I liked. ( )

What an extraordinary book! This book absolutely transported me to another dimension and whisked me around the globe to exotic locales. It consumed me with a spine-tingling auro of mystique. The evocation of the classical muse was nothing short of brilliant. And the illustrations were outstanding. They were magical, abstract and so imaginative and colorful and a great fabric weaving together the drama of Griffin and Sabine. The use of physical letters (gorgeous unto themselves, also lavishly illustrated and brilliantly printed) was a wonderful added touch.

I was left feeling a little bit like someone stranded on a remote island somewhere, a bit devastated that I was no closer to resolution than when I started. But of course, that's how life works.

While this book is the second of a Griffin & Sabine series, it was perfectly enjoyable as a stand alone.

I highly recommend this beautiful, artistic and creative production. ( )

Images in this second book of the series are more frightening and Griffin and his Journey seem silly and over the top self-indulgent.

Last entires appear that they have both imagined themselves. ( )

I wish I could read this slower. I plan to give this series to my partner because he will be better at reading it than I. ( )

Sabine’s Notebook; in which the Corrrespondence of Griffin & Sabine Continues. 1992. Nick Bantock. Reading The Boy, the Mole... made me think of Griffin & Sabine. I had forgotten how charming it was. When I re-read it, I ordered Sabine’s Notebook, and found it equally charming. These whimsical books are more like art. This love story it told in illustrated letters and post cards. The illustrations are what make the book. It is fun to open the envelopes and read the letters and see how the romance is progressing. Not for everyone as I image a lot of people would think they’re silly and a waste of time and money, but I do love them! ( )
