Griffin & Sabine by Nick Bantock

 

Griffin & Sabine was published in 1991.  I have owned the book for many years but was reminded of it by another Nick Bantock book that was linked in to Books You Loved. 

 

I'm so glad I read it again.  What a gem of a book.  It's more an artwork than just a book.  The story is mysterious – I won't discuss it here in case you have never read the book. 

 

The book has a tactile quality to it – on many pages you have to open an envelope and take out a letter to read it. 

Nick Bantock is clearly a major talent.  If you haven't got this book, I recommend it to you.
