Praise for The Encylopedia of Early Earth:

"...an exquisite book that will be loved by children and adults alike." Rachel Cooke, The Observer


"The Encyclopedia of Early Earth is ambitious and impressive enough as a feat of world-building, but it's a good deal more than that. From its gods and ghosts and monsters, a rich and palpably human tale emerges — a sad and unshowily beautiful love story that lands with an emotional impact you likely won't see coming."
Glen Weldon, NPR

Praise for The One Hundred Nights Of Hero:

“The most sumptuous and captivating graphic novel of 2016 is surely The One Hundred Nights of Hero by Isabel Greenberg… ” Rachel Cooke, The Observer

“Above all, it’s a book about the power of storytelling, populating Early Earth with a secret society of storytellers, a grove of memory trees, and women treasuring literacy in defiance of a stern bird god. Greenberg’s primitive woodcut-style illustrations suggest folk art from another planet.” Publishers' Weekly

Praise for Glass Town

“A brilliant, bonkers tribute to the Brontës… Isabel Greenberg has done something extraordinary.” Samantha Ellis, Daily Telegraph.

“A wild journey: an odyssey… A feat of narrative concision that is by turns dreamy, and gritty. If it’s a fantastic comic – and I think that it is – then it’s also one of the best books about the Brontës’ juvenilia ever written.” Rachel Cooke, Observer

“The weird and wonderful world of the Brontës is brought to life in beautiful, blazing colour… A wonderful book. Greenberg is impressively well-informed about the Brontës, but handles her facts lightly, allowing full power to the beautiful and sensitive images… It’s strange how moving these images are.” Claire Harman Evening Standard, *Book of the Week*
