The Firework-Maker's Daughter is a children's novella by Philip Pullman. It was first published in the United Kingdom by Doubleday in 1995. The first UK edition was illustrated by Nick Harris; a subsequent edition published in the United States was illustrated by S. Saelig Gallagher.[1]
Pullman originally wrote the story as a school play, and the novel was in turn adapted into a play.[2] Called a "fairy tale" by Pullman, the novel is both a children's adventure story where the main character undertakes a quest to prove herself, and a metaphor for making art.[3][4]
A animated adaptation by the Weinstein Company was planned but cancelled.[5][6]
