Place reservation for The firework-maker's daughter ; Clockwork, or, All wound upA must-have for every child's library: two enchanting tales by the best-selling author of 'Northern Lights', in a special hardcover omnibus edition with newly colourised illustrations. In 'The Firework-Maker's Daughter', young Lila has learned from her father almost all there is to know about his profession - but he insists upon holding back the final secret. With the help of her friend Chulak, Lila discovers that anyone who wants to be a true firework-maker must face down the Fire-Fiend of Mount Merapi. 'Clockwork' features an apprentice clockmaker who is tempted to sell his soul. As the townspeople of Glockenheim gather on the eve of the annual unveiling of a new figure for the town clock, Karl, the apprentice, confides to Fritz, a storyteller, that he has failed his task to create one.
