Four Tales

Four stories of myth, magic and adventure from the master teller of tales

The Firework Maker's Daughter

I Was A Rat!

Clockwork

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, author of His Dark Materials and The Book of Dust.
