There’s much myth and magic in the pages of this colossal work of illustrated fiction.

Monocle

This is a hugely enjoyable and remarkable book, with much to discover below the surface.

- Jess Richards, Guardian

It’s a whimsical, light-hearted book that reads like the best kind of bedtime story – a new take on something familiar and much loved.

- Teddy Jamieson, Glasgow Sunday Herald

Se alle

There is a pleasing unity to these far-flung stories appearing alongside one another. Greenberg is clearly fascinated by the universality of myth.

- George Pendle, Financial Times

Timelessly brilliant… Isabel Greenberg is clearly destined to make a big contribution to British comics.

'It's a book about many things - love, snow, god, poisoned sausages...but mostly it's a celebration of storytelling itself. Strange and wry and funny and beautifully drawn.' Mark Haddon Winner of the Best Book Award at the 2014 British Comic Awards
