About this listen

An astonishing, richly interwoven story from number-one best-selling author Joanne M. Harris (The Gospel of Loki, Chocolat).

Long ago and far away,

Far away and long ago,

The world was honeycomb, we know,

The worlds were honeycomb.

The beauty of stories is that 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. Dark, gripping and brilliantly imaginative, these magical tales will soon have you in their thrall.

Each original tale is a small piece of the larger picture - a clue or a message, a theme, or a warning - interwoven with the tale of the Lacewing King as he travels the worlds and encounters a multitude of characters: a toymaker who wants to create the perfect wife, a princess whose heart is won by words, not actions, a tiny dog whose confidence far outweighs his size and the vengeful Spider Queen and deadly Harlequin....

Press play, and be swept up in the adventure.

Perfect for fans of Sandman, The Djinn in the Nightingale's Eye, Piranesi and The Midnight Library, this tour de force is a beautiful achievement, from two exceptional creators at the top of their game.

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

A tough slog

Normally I Joanne Harris’ books but this one was a tough slog. Kind of reminded me of Aesop’s Fables: individually interesting but tedious when read cover to cover.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
