More About the Author
Product Description
Book Description
In his award-winning fantasy trilogy, HIS DARK MATERIALS, Philip Pullman invents a richly detailed and marvellously imagined world that is complex and thought-provoking enough to enthrall readers of all ages.
Product Description
Northern Lights introduces Lyra, an orphan, who lives in a parallel universe in which science, theology and magic are entwined. Lyra's search for a kidnapped friend uncovers a sinister plot involving stolen children and turns into a quest to understand a mysterious phenomenon called Dust. In The Subtle Knife she is joined on her journey by Will, a boy who possesses a knife that can cut windows between worlds. As Lyra learns the truth about her parents and her prophesied destiny, the two young people are caught up in a war against celestial powers that ranges across many worlds and leads to a thrilling conclusion in The Amber Spyglass.
The epic story Pullman tells is not only a spellbinding adventure featuring armoured polar bears, magical devices, witches and daemons, it is also an audacious and profound re-imagining of Milton's Paradise Lost. An utterly entrancing blend of metaphysical speculation and bravura storytelling, HIS DARK MATERIALS is a monumental and enduring achievement.

This is a favourite series of mine.
I originally read my boyfriends copy and he bought me this edition as a gift.
I was addicted to reading these books- they were a great summertime read and books that I always reccommend to others. They have also opened up a new genre of reading for me that I didn't know I liked so I'm grateful for that.
Definately books that I will re-read and treasure.

Someone leant me their copies 10 years ago - and I so loved them then. Wanted to re-read them and now get my kids to read and enjoy them too. So this was the perfect edition with all 3 novels wrapped up together
Format:Hardcover
HIS DARK MATERIALS is easily the greatest cross-generational fantasy trilogy since Mervyn Peake's GORMENGHAST. Now merely impatient for the definitive illustrated edition.

A very entertaining read.
I bought this book for my great niece, an avid reader, as she is now old enough to read it. I hope that she enjoys it as much as I did when I read it.
