"Sabine
Thank you for your exotic postcard.
Forgive me if it's a memory lapse on my
part, but should I know you? I can't
fathom out how you were aware of my first,
broken cup, sketch for this card. I don't
remember showing it to anyone. Please
enlighten me.
Yours
Griffin Moss"
Nick Bantock tells the story of the romance and supernatural mystery of Griffin & Sabine through their "strange and intriguing correspondence", exchanged over the course of three books: Griffin & Sabine, Sabine's Notebook, and The Golden Mean. In each book, Bantock imaginatively reproduces their postcards and tucks their letters into envelopes affixed to the page. With each book seeming like a scrapbook, taking their letters out of the envelopes to read them gives the impression of snooping. Delicious! (The letters and envelopes in all three books are intact.)
