Griffin journeys around the world while sending letters & postcards to Sabine who is staying at his home in London. Another interesting reading experience. This is a quick but intriguing read full of beautiful and varied artwork. Very creative!

The correspondence continues. Sabine has traveled to London to meet Griffin, but he has left on his own quest. While she stays in his studio, he travels around the world. Will he get back to London before she has to return to her home in the Sicmon Islands?
As with the first book, this one is beautifully illustrated and produced as a series of cards and letters between the two. The “plot” seems forced, and once again Bantock ends the book without resolution. But unlike the first book, instead of wanting more, I just feel manipulated and let down. Bantock should have quit when he was ahead. 1* for the story line. 5***** for the illustrations; averages to 3***. I will not read another.

These books were some of my favorites when I was in high school. I read this in 1997. My notes then were: "Excellent artwork, as well as a compelling story. Easy read, but fascinating and unique."

As brilliant as the first. There are very apparent questions the reader can solve themselves as they make their way through the notebook. It makes you think. It's brilliant.

I only read the book because I was intrigued by the ending of the first one. And also that it is a very pretty book.
But the illicit feeling that say you get when you open the envelopes and feel like you are reading someone else's letters while reading in this book, that feeling very very overrated. Its just a very pretty book. Not much in terms of story and all.
