A sparkling, thrilling and magical tale, sumptuously repackaged with new illustrations from Peter Bailey.

Featuring wonderful new illustrations from Peter Bailey, this beautiful fairytale is perfect for readers young and old.

The Firework-Maker's Daughter tells the story of Lila, who doesn't just want to be a Firework-Maker's daughter; she wants to be a Firework Maker herself.
