| Description: |
From the author of ''His Dark Materials'' come four tales of myth, magic and adventure. ''The Firework Maker''s Daughter'', ''I Was a Rat'', ''Clockwork'' and The Scarecrow and His Servant.'' A devilish inventor, a girl who must face a Fire Fiend, a scarecrow brought to life by a bolt of lightning, and a boy who can only say the words ''I Was a Rat''... Drawing on the rich tradition of fairytales, these are four incredible stories that will obsess and enchant readers. Includes a prologue and epilogue from the uniquely talented Philip Pullman. |
