Honeycomb by Joanne M. Harris

5.0

Where to start with this gem of a book. A series of loosely connected original fairy tales by the talented Joanne Harris, Honeycomb spins an Odyssey-like story of the Lacewing King. These fairies are linked with and often described as insects and the like, but Charles Vess' illustrations have a Rackham-like charm that keeps the creep-crawly factor down. Some tales are a part of a grand epic, others are world-building fluff, but all are important. I couldn't put this down, but you should take your time and savour the tale.
