Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A superb new episode from the world created for Pullman's much acclaimed and hugely popular "His Dark Materials" trilogy. The book features intricate maps and illustrations throughout. "His Dark Materials" has been optioned for a series of three films and a play is to feature at the National Theatre over Christmas 2003. Readership level: 12+.

Synopsis:

A bundle of material has somehow slipped between Lyra's universe and our own, including another short tale from a just after the end of "The Amber Spyglass". Sitting on the roofs of Oxford, Lyra sees a storm petrel, the daemon of a witch, pursued by other birds, and a mystery unfolds.

This is a fun little follow-up to Pullman's His Dark Materials. There are maps, postcards and other things to explore within the book. I hope that one day Pullman gives us a similar story about Will's life after the trilogy.

The story isn't as riveting as the His Dark Materials series (this is after all, only one short story instead of a myriad of stories woven throughout three longish novels!), but readers of the series will enjoy this little book. It would make a VERY nice gift-- it has the look of a hand-made small press book. John Lawrence's engravings are quite attractive, especially the very cool tipped-in folded map.
