The One Hundred Nights of Hero

Description

The One Hundred Nights of Hero

“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
