Publisher's summary

A set of dark, captivating fairy tales from the best-selling author of The Gospel of Loki.

Includes a PDF of lush illustrations by Charles Vess (Stardust).

The beauty of stories; you never know where they will take you. Full of dreams and nightmares, Honeycomb is an entrancing mosaic novel of original fairy tales from best-selling author Joanne M. Harris and legendary artist Charles Vess in a collaboration that’s been years in the making. The toymaker who wants to create the perfect wife; the princess whose heart is won by words, not actions; the tiny dog whose confidence far outweighs his size; and the sinister Lacewing King who rules over the Silken Folk. These are just a few of the weird and wonderful creatures who populate Joanne Harris’ first collection of fairy tales.

Dark, gripping, and brilliantly imaginative, these magical tales will soon have you in their thrall in a uniquely illustrative edition. The tales are beautifully illustrated by renowned illustrator Charles Vess (Stardust, Sandman, The Books of Earthsea) and included with the audiobook as a PDF.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Beautiful and timeless

Gorgeous stories both harrowing and lovely. I will read this book again and again. BUT I will NOT listen to the audiobook again. Though the author does a fantastic job there is weird, loud music in between every chapter that is terribly annoying and jarring. It’s only about 4 seconds but it’s 4 seconds too long. Please remove the music and this would be a perfect 5 star audiobook.

Dark and jumbled

Very mixed stories that eventually come together. Still, dark and disturbing in many places. Timeline really doesn’t make sense. Not much of a moral or point to most of the takes. The performance was excellent though. Still, would not recommend, especially for children or anxious adults.
