The Firework-Makers Daughter

Lila wants to become a firework-maker, just like her father. Thinking that it`s not a job for a girl, her father tells her to focus on getting married instead. Lila disagrees, and leaves home to get royal sulfur from the Fire Fiend in order to pursue her firework-maker career. As she journeys across many lands, her task turns into an adventure--she`s confronted by a band of pirates, meets wild animals, and participates in a fireworks contest. Will Lila ever reach the Fire Fiend? With black-and-white illustrations. hide
