「葛林堡融合童話、兒童讀物與世界民間傳說元素,構築出既原創又似曾相識的神話體系……更重要的是,這本書探討了說故事的力量……葛林堡純樸的木刻風格插畫,宛如來自外星的民間藝術。」——《出版人週刊》星級書評(Publishers Weekly, starred review)
這不是一個關於「男英雄」的故事,而是一個充滿女性主義色彩,融合民間傳說與《一千零一夜》架構,關於故事的力量、友誼以及女性如何用智慧對抗不公的故事。
故事背景設定在一個虛構世界「北國」(Early Earth):在米格達爾·巴維爾王國,切麗(Cherry)嫁給了邪惡的傑羅姆男爵(Jerome)。傑羅姆與朋友曼弗雷德(Manfred)訂下魔鬼賭約:若曼弗雷德能在一百個夜晚內誘惑切麗,便可奪取城堡與切麗。
然而,切麗並不孤單。她的侍女赫羅(Hero)挺身而出。赫羅是一位才華橫溢的說書人,為了保護切麗,她開始在每一個夜晚向曼弗雷德講述迷人且永無止境的故事。曼弗雷德被這些故事深深吸引,聽得入迷而忘記了誘惑的任務,就這樣度過了一百個夜晚。書中精美呈現了這些故事篇章,交織著愛情、背叛、忠誠與瘋狂的主題。
《英雄的百夜》翻轉了經典的敘事框架,將焦點完全放在女性身上。故事層層嵌套,伊莎貝爾.葛林堡(Isabel Greenberg)的畫風具有強烈的民間藝術感,線條粗獷卻充滿情感,帶領讀者穿梭於北國的創世神話、姊妹情誼以及對抗父權壓迫的冒險中。另外,此書探討了在一個禁止女性閱讀與寫作的世界裡,女性如何透過「口述歷史」與「共用故事」來建立連結、保存智慧並爭取自由。
評論家讚譽這本書「不僅僅是一本漫畫,更是一首獻給文學、想像力與反叛精神的讚美詩」。它向讀者證明:故事是這世界上最強大的武器。

書評
"Greenberg's art perfectly suits the stories she's telling and the tone she's telling them in. Her rough line work is reminiscent of Kate Beaton'st Hark! A Vagrant and Emily Carroll's Through the Woods, and lends the stories, and their world, a folkloric charm."--Entertainment Weekly
"You've never encountered a gathering of fables as funny and Sapphic as this graphic novel."--O, the Oprah Magazine
"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
