Imagine you made something that was so beautiful and powerful that
everyone wanted to take it for themselves. And then you had to
watch them destroy it. Would you fight for it? Meet Gaia, the
ancient Greek goddess who created the Earth and the universe that
stretched beyond it. She raised trees from their roots to the sky,
sent waterfalls tumbling over cliffs and created the tides that
sloshed on the shore. She gifted her creation to animals and
mortals, and watched as they made it their home. But she also
created a force she couldn't control: the ambition of gods. Gaia
watched as the gods fought brutal wars and manipulated mortals such
as Hercules and Achilles, disturbing peace on Earth. Storms raged,
fires blazed and people, animals and plants suffered. Gaia begged
the gods to look after her creation, but no one listened. But Gaia
never gave up fighting for a better world. This is her story.
Written and illustrated by two remarkable sisters, Imogen and
Isabel Greenberg, this story is an exciting and action-packed
adventure, with a poignant environmental message at the heart of
it: the pursuit of power damages our natural world, and we all have
to work together to protect it.

In the tradition of The Arabian Nights, a beautifully illustrated
tapestry of folk tales and myths about the secret legacy of female
storytellers in an imagined medieval world. In the Empire of Migdal
Bavel, Cherry is married to Jerome, a wicked man who makes a
diabolical wager with his friend Manfred: if Manfred can seduce
Cherry in one hundred nights, he can have his castle -- and Cherry.
But what Jerome doesn't know is that Cherry is in love with her
maid Hero. The two women hatch a plan: Hero, a member of the League
of Secret Story Tellers, will distract Manfred by regaling him with
a mesmerizing tale each night for 100 nights, keeping him at bay.
Those tales are beautifully depicted here, touching on themes of
love and betrayal and loyalty and madness. As intricate and richly
imagined as the works of Chris Ware, and leavened with a dry wit
that rivals Kate Beaton's in Hark! A Vagrant, Isabel Greenberg's
One Hundred Nights of Hero will capture readers' hearts and minds,
taking them through a magical medieval world.
