I, like many people, was completely taken with the whimsy of Griffin and Sabine. A book where you could take parts of it out and read it! How amazing. This book is similar, but for those with a penchant for cooking. Recipes, as well as letters, can be pulled out and read. Set in the French countryside it contains drawings, photographs, snippets of diaries, and mysterious maps that tell the tale of Mademoiselle J., who arrives at Pistoulet with a broken heart.
