"Greenberg's art perfectly suits the stories she's telling and the tone she's telling them in. Her rough line work is reminiscent of Kate Beaton'st Hark! A Vagrant and Emily Carroll's Through the Woods , and lends the stories, and their world, a folkloric charm."- -Entertainment Weekly "You've never encountered a gathering of fables as funny and Sapphic as this graphic novel."-- O, the Oprah Magazine "Greenberg is a staunch believer in the power of stories.readers get sucked into each one she tells. Highly recommended for adult readers, especially those who enjoy mythology and fable."-- Library Journal ( starred review ) "Greenberg combines elements from fairy tales, children's books, and folklore from around the world to create an original but teasingly familiar mythos. Above all, it's a book about the power of storytelling.

Greenberg's primitive woodcut-style illustrations suggest folk art from another planet."-- Publishers Weekly, (starred review) "Wry and wise.sure to become a feminist classic. A cry against oppression, a love letter to the human need for stories, a celebration of the many bonds between women, The One Hundred Nights of Hero will leave readers wishing Greenberg had written 1,000 nights instead."-- Shelf Awareness "Enchanting. Greenberg's artwork is whimsical, and her plots reference countless fables. But there's also real darkness, and the stories speak movingly of the desperation of a narrow, patriarchal world in which 'happily ever after' often translates as forced marriage to a strange man." --The Guardian Praise for The Encyclopedia of Early Earth One of Time 's Top 10 Fiction Books of 2013-- -.
