'A feminist fairy-tale, which I recommend if you're looking for
a Christmas present for a teenage girl... A wondrously intricate
book, and a witty attack on the patriarchy, this is an instant
classic.'

*Observer, Book of the Year*
[An] enchanting second graphic novel.
*Guardian*
Greenburg has an extraordinary lightness of touch, piling humour
and a wonderfully conversational tone into the narrative, which
shines brightly and juxtaposes the darkness. Her illustration is
similarly bustling with humour and character.
*MYM Magazine*
Think The Arabian Nights depicted through ink and block shades in
this gorgeously stylised graphic novel. Despite being fiction, its
power lies in its honest and witty narration which so perfectly
reflects the lives of women in our own world.
