'His Dark Materials 1: Northern Lights'
Twelve-year-old Lyra Belacqua lives unparented and half-wild among the scholars of Jordan College. One day her uncle Lord Asriel, an experimental theologian and explorer, arrives with terrifying news from the north.

Impelled at first by her own curiosity, but soon pursued by appalling dangers, Lyra is drawn into a savage struggle among the armoured bears and witch-clans of the Arctic, where a scientific research station is carrying out experiments too horrible to be spoken about. In order to survive at all, she must leave her childhood behind and venture where no one has gone before - beyond the Northern Lights.

'His Dark Materials 2: The Subtle Knife'
Will is twelve years old and he's just killed a man. Now he's on his own, on the run, determined to discover the truth about his father's disappearance. Then Will steps through a window in the air into another world, and finds himself with a companion - a strange, savage little girl called Lyra. Like Will, she has a mission which she intends to carry out all at all costs.

But the world of Cittagazze is a strange and unsettling place. Deadly, soul-eating Spectres stalk its streets, while high above the wingbeats of distant angels sound against the sky. And in the mysterious Torre degli Angeli lurks Cittagazze's most important secret - an object which people from many world would kill to possess . . .

'His Dark Materials 3: The Amber Spyglass'
Lyra and Will, the ordinary children who were left in such extraordinary danger at the end of Book Two, find themselves in the final part of the story facing even greater perils.

For all those who are dying to learn the fate of Will and Lyra . . . hoping for the return of Iorek Byrnison . . . longing to know the truth about Dust . . . and waiting to face the ultimate clash of opposing powers - here are the answers. No-one should miss the final part of this extraordinary story.

About the Author: Philip Pullman

Philip Pullman was born in Norwich in 1946, and educated in England, Zimbabwe, and Australia, before his family settled in North Wales. He entered the teaching profession at the age of 25, and taught at various Oxford Middle Schools before moving to Westminster College in 1986, where he spent eight years involved in teaching students on the B.Ed. course.

Phillip has published nearly twenty books, mostly of the sort that are read by children, though the natural audience of his work is mixed in age.

Phillip's books have been honoured by several prizes, including the Carnegie Medal, the Guardian Children's Book Award, and (for The Amber Spyglass) the Whitbread Book of the Year Award - the first time in the history of that prize that it was given to a children's book, and the Eleanor Farjeon Award for children's literature.
