Name: Sabine's notebook
Author: Nick Bantock

Nick Bantock’s *Sabine's notebook* continues the story of the beloved characters Griffin and Sabine in a format that blends novel and toy.

The narrative is interwoven with pages from Sabine’s sketchbook and diary, offering insight into the character’s thoughts and a visual accompaniment that blurs the line between page and object. The book remains firmly rooted in the fictional setting of London, United Kingdom, and exemplifies Bantock’s inventive approach to literature, where the physical medium itself becomes part of the storytelling.
