I bought all of the Griffin and Sabine books, at least 20 years ago, probably longer. I was on a Nick Bantock kick after reading The Museum at Purgatory and loving it. I was also into a lot of postmodern stuff, anything different, bucking the normal structure or patterns of story.

BUT for some reason I never got around to them. I think I was worried they would be boring and not include enough "magic" or "monsters". So, after waiting all this time, I read this first book to my wife in two sittings on the same day.

There was "magic" and mystery and the format was cool and interesting. Looking forward to where this story goes. ( )

I used to see this book around a lot as a kid but never read it somehow. It's good! Nice twists, and perfectly creepy. ( )

Griffin and Sabine is a lovely and compelling Classic Romance,
definitely worth keeping to read year after year. ( )

Very entertaining, mysterious, well illustrated story. ( )

Loved this series - as a designer, loved the tactile nature of opening letters and the photography was wonderful. ( )
