From Publishers Weekly

This singular, magical volume invites readers to examine handmade postcards and open colorful envelopes as they eavesdrop on lonely London card-designer Griffin Moss and mysterious South Pacific islander Sabine Strohem. Sabine introduces herself to Griffin with a note congratulating him on a design on one of the postcards he illustrates--and alluding to an alteration he made during the creative process. Perplexed because he works alone and discusses his creative dilemmas with no one, he responds, begging her to enlighten him as to how she knew about the original design. In her next missive, she admits, "I share your sight," and their correspondence grows increasingly intimate. Sabine continues to make psychic observations and beckons to Griffin from her atoll; Griffin fantasizes about her to escape his drab existence, his interest turning to obsession. Their personalities shine through both their art and penmanship: Griffin's faintly disturbing, often subliminally violent collages, blocky printed words and imperfectly typewritten pages contrast with Sabine's whimsical doodles, fanciful postage stamps and flowing, calligraphic script. Pop-up book author Bantock's ( There Was an Old Lady ) images and concept will haunt the imagination.

From AudioFile

For all who have seen these books of postcards and letters, the idea of an audiobook version seems absurd. Artist Griffin Moss is suddenly discovered by Sabine, a mysterious woman from a tiny island on the other side of the world. Here begins their "Extraordinary Correspondence." Marina Sirtis uses her unusual accent to bring out the exotic characteristics of Sabine. With every word, the mystery unravels to the very last thread. So can this tale of letters and pictures be recounted on tape? Most definitely. Disappear into this unbelievable tale, the beautiful tones of Marina Sirtis and the cautious words of Maxwell Caulfield as Griffin. M.B.K. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

4.0étoiles sur 5 Lovely, but More of an Objet dArt than a Book, Avril 14 2004
Par Marian Loreti (Annapolis, MD) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Griffin & Sabine: An Extraordinary Correspondence (Hardcover)
This book is a wholly original piece of imagination that engages you on a variety of different planes. Each page is a postcard or letter between a woman on a tiny south Pacific island who designs stamps (not much mail where she is but the stamps are popular with collectors) and a man in London who designs postcards whom she has never met but whose paintings she can "watch" from 13,000 miles away as they take shape. But it is not words you read, it's pictures of words because each page is a brilliant piece of art representing a postcard, front and back. And sometimes an envelope into which your fingers, tingling with anticipation, reach to pull out a letter or a typed and folded page, thereby engaging you in the story and the art. And because each of the two characters is a gifted artist, the postcard images are splendid, ranging from whimsical to brooding. What is the story, which ends in a mystery, all about? I don't know, but then, you don't have to explain art, which may be the point the author/painter is making. The story is short (you will read it in half an hour or less), and hardly a literary heavyweight. But if you're like me, you'll want to take this book off the shelf and enjoy its pages and letters over and over. In the end it just might give you years of pleasure.

This review is from: Griffin & Sabine: An Extraordinary Correspondence (Hardcover)
I loved this...everything about it appealed to me. What a wonderful sense of mystery! The illustrations are fantastic, and it is such a pleasure to read the letters and postcards, pulling them out of their envelopes. The first two books were given to me by a wonderful friend...thank you, Dorothy :)

5.0étoiles sur 5 More than five stars. Unique and wonderful., Oct. 3 2003
Par Stacey (Mooresville, IN USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Griffin & Sabine: An Extraordinary Correspondence (Hardcover)
I've never seen anything like this book and the others in the series. It's been years since I first discovered this book and it is still just as stunning and delicious as the first time I read it. If you are adventurous and imaginitive and just a little bit 'out there' you will adore this discovery in letters.
