Krátky popis
A 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. With a
delightful and unique introduction from the author- especially for
this beautiful Everyman's Library volume. 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. It is only after Lila has set off
on her quest that Chulak discovers the other half of the secret—and
without it, Lila will perish. In the company of Hamlet, a talking
white elephant, Chulak sets off to find Lila before it's too
late.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. Fritz, in his turn, has no idea how
to finish the new story he has begun concocting, which he calls
“Clockwork.” He begins to tell it anyway, only to see its dangerous
antagonist materialize in front of the two boys and offer Karl a
Faustian pact.Real life and storytelling merge, and destruction
must be narrowly averted, in this unusual and suspenseful tale of
the power of creativity.
