Description

Philip Pullman's classic trilogy is now available as a stunning, large-format, bind-up edition. The award winning His Dark Materials trilogy in one volume.

The extraordinary story moves between parallel universes. Beginning in Oxford, it takes Lyra and her animal-daemon Pantalaimon on a dangerous rescue mission to the ice kingdoms of the far north, where she begins to learn about the mysterious particles they call Dust - a substance for which a terrible war between different worlds will be fought...

Phillip Pullman has won the CILIP Carnegie Medal, the Guardian Children's Fiction Award, the Children's book of the Year - British Book Awards, the Whitbread Book of the Year, the Eleanor Farjeon Award and the Astrid Lindgren Award.

The Golden Compass (US) / Northern Lights (UK);
When Lyra's friend Roger disappears, she and her daemon, Pantalaimon, set out to find him. They travel to the ice kingdoms of the North, where armoured bears rule and witch-queens fly through frozen skies. Lyra possesses a device that will aid their quest - if she can decipher its mysterious messages. But it knows terrifying secrets about their journey, and the dangers that await them in worlds far beyond their own.

The Subtle Knife;
Will is twelve, and he's just killed a man. Now he's on the run, determined to discover the truth about the father he's never known.
Then he steps through a window into another world - where soul-eating Spectres haunt the streets of a city, and a strange girl called Lyra is searching for Dust. His mission and hers are mysteriously linked, and together they must find a powerful and secret object that people from many worlds would kill to possess.

The Amber Spyglass;
Will is the bearer of the subtle knife. He has promised his dying father that he will deliver the terrible blade to Lord Asriel. War is coming, the greatest war there has ever been, and the knife is the only weapon that can defeat the enemy. A stranger in a world that is not his own, Will sets out on a perilous journey. But how can he fulfil his promise when Lyra, his brave companion, has disappeared...?

'This trilogy is one of the great imaginative works in the English Language. And it contains one of the best villains in all literature' - Terry Jones.

Review by Tracy on 4th August, 2010
"Great value and excellent read! "

Can't put it down! Very interesting with lots of elements that keep you guessing how they are all going to tie together in the end. Lots of twists and turns!
Philip Pullman has a great imagination that challenges you to think way outside the box!
This is a book that will have a permanent place on my families book shelf.
