Not Bantock's best
As someone who very much enjoyed Griffin and Sabine, I have to say that this book was a let-down. The story is not very engaging and its resolution is a bit of a yawn. I also can't say I'm a big fan of Bantock's collage art, which this story is centered on. Gluing things found on the ground or in one's pocket, and then scraping it off again is not my idea of good art. This book has its good moments and some good art, but all-in-all you could skip it.

Precious Story, a Must Read.......
Bantock is a clever story-teller, who weaves a delicate tale in his story The Forgetting Room. Fanciful, and Exotic, Bantock will pleasure your senses with this enjoyable book. I read it on a simple winter afternoon, and was enthralled. I have since given this gem of a book out as a present to my fellow book lover friends, and recommend it highly. Bantock as an author is incredible. A timeless, ageless jewel of a story, for young and old, and all book lovers in between.
