Product details

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.

Love it,

This review is from: His Dark Materials: Gift Edition including all three novels: Northern Light, The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass (Hardcover)
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

The Greatest Since...,
By Jack Lawrence (Southampton, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: His Dark Materials: Gift Edition including all three novels: Northern Light, The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass (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.
5.0 out of 5 stars
A very entertaining read.,
This review is from: His Dark Materials: Gift Edition including all three novels: Northern Light, The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass (Hardcover)
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.
