Honeycomb is a 2021 fantasy novel by Joanne Harris, published in the UK by Gollancz, with illustrations by Charles Vess. It takes the form of a mosaic novel, consisting of 100 short chapters, some of which stand alone as short stories, and charts the adventures of the Lacewing King, the cruel but charismatic King of the Faerie, on his journey to redemption. The stories originated on Twitter, as part of a regular series of threads under the hashtag #Storytime. Comparisons have been made to Orwell's Animal Farm as well as to the Brothers Grimm and Charles Perrault, and to the Child Ballads.
