# Honeycomb - Hardcover

by **Joanne M. Harris** (Author), **Charles Vess** (Illustrator)

**A lushly illustrated set of dark, captivating fairy tales from the bestselling author of _The Gospel of Loki_ with illustrator 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 bestselling 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's 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_).
