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. 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! no reviews | add a review

Griffiin & Sabine, the most creative and discussed bestseller of 1991, left readers on the edge of a precipice. In the second volume of this inventive trilogy, they begin--along with Griffin--the fall. Told through strangely beautiful postcards and richly decorated letters, that actually must be taken from their envelopes to be read, the story is also culled from the sketchbook and diary kept by the possible unreal Sabine.

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. ( )
