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. “The weird and wonderful world of the Brontës is brought to life in beautiful, blazing colour… A wonderful book. 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 “A wild journey: an odyssey… A feat of narrative concision that is by turns dreamy, and gritty. The story begins in 1825, with the deaths of Maria and Elizabeth, the eldest siblings. “A brilliant, bonkers tribute to the Brontës… Isabel Greenberg has done something extraordinary.” Samantha Ellis, Daily Telegraph. Glass Town is an original graphic novel by Isabel Greenberg that encompasses the eccentric childhoods of the four Brontë childrenCharlotte, Branwell, Emily, and Anne. Greenberg’s primitive woodcut-style illustrations suggest folk art from another planet.” Publishers' Weekly by Isabel Greenberg is powerful account of the lives of Charlotte, Emily, Anne, and Branwell Brontë, with a particular emphasis on Charlotte after the deaths of all her siblings.

“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. “The most sumptuous and captivating graphic novel of 2016 is surely The One Hundred Nights of Hero by Isabel Greenberg… ” Rachel Cooke, The Observer Praise for The One Hundred Nights Of Hero: 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.' ' 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. '.an exquisite book that will be loved by children and adults alike.' Rachel Cooke, The Observer

Praise for The Encylopedia of Early Earth: The fragments that have survived of these ImagiNations as we have mentioned before in Bronte posts are somewhat confusing but I found that Isabel Greenberg’s charming graphic novel version Glass Town straightens or smoothed many of these story and character fragments out.
