"A tapestry of exquisite miniatures, the kind of stories you might hear told in one of Calvino's invisible cities. Microfictions are seldom this inventive or persistently pleasurable." --John Coulthart, World Fantasy Award-winning graphic artist, illustrator, author, and designer "I have always been fascinated by artists who manage to invent imaginary creatures and worlds, and Nick Bantock does it with extreme elegance and a unique freshness of sign, managing to combine cave paintings with Flemish art in a contemporary key." --Daniele Serra, three-time winner of the British Fantasy Award for Best Artist "100 Stories. 100 words each. 100% captivating. In The Corset & The Jellyfish , Nick Bantock weaves tales that are wholly fantastical and yet absolutely believable. Talking lampposts, bottled angels, and dancing dice are just a few of the magical characters that you will meet along the way. Accompanied by 100 illustrations that are equally mysterious, be ready for a journey to places far beyond your imagination." --Seth Apter, author of The Mixed Media Artist Praise for the Griffin and Sabine series "Wondrous, ingenious, gorgeous . . ." -- USA Today "Extremely original . . . classical myth, reality, and fantasy are blended artfully in this modern allegory." -- Los Angeles Times "It's like no book experience you've had before and every detail is so thoughtfully crafted and executed. The story itself is magical and whimsical and leaves you cheering on Griffin and Sabine to find happiness together. And even all these years later, I have kept them because they are so unique and special." -- Oh Joy! " Griffin & Sabine , by the Canada-based British artist Nick Bantock, seemed to have no precedent. It was as marvellous and mysterious as the story it contained." -- The Telegraph "A powerful read." -- Vancouver Sun "The immersive experience of this book can be enjoyed on its own or in conjunction with the six other books in the series. However it is read, Bantock's conclusion to the epistolary epic is beautiful and truly singular." -- Publishers Weekly "These are enjoyable, lovely books that appeal to incurable romantics and people who like to open mail." -- Washington Post, Praise for the Griffin and Sabine series "Wondrous, ingenious, gorgeous . . ." -- USA Today "Extremely original . . . classical myth, reality, and fantasy are blended artfully in this modern allegory." -- Los Angeles Times "It's like no book experience you've had before and every detail is so thoughtfully crafted and executed.

Synopsis
[STARRED REVIEW] "Readers will find themselves delighted, intrigued, and often moved by the love, pain, and wonder of these finely written drabbles...thoroughly extraordinary." -- Kirkus The internationally bestselling author of Griffin & Sabine returns with his newest literary mystery--a charming assemblage of his own illustrated stories. Each of the invitingly strange tales is paired with its own glyphic creature (perhaps created by Sabine herself). Little is known of the fascinating manuscript that Nick Bantock has come to possess. It was discovered in an attic in North London, stuffed into a battered cardboard box, and unceremoniously delivered directly to Nick's doorstep. Inside the package lay one hundred evocatively absurd stories, one hundred humorous drawings of strangely familiar, quirkish glyphs, plus a cryptically poetic note signed only as "HH." (Possibly the well-known, eccentric billionaire, Hamilton Hasp?) In these stories-each consisting of precisely 100 words-strange creatures slip through alleyways, and eerie streets swallow people whole. Taken altogether, they may constitute a puzzle that no one has been able to solve thus far. Could there even be one missing story? For those perceptive readers with a curious mind, the celebrated author of Griffin & Sabine cordially invites you to find your own path through his beguiling conundrum of drabbles--or even to contribute one of your very own.
