Publisher Description

This special collection features all three titles in the award-winning trilogy: Northern Lights, The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass.

This collection also includes extracts from The Book of Dust series: La Belle Sauvage and The Secret Commonwealth.

Now a major critically acclaimed BBC series.

Set against the dreaming spires of Jordan College in an alternate Oxford and the dangerous wilderness of the frozen north, Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy offers an intoxicating blend of imagination, science, theology and adventure.

Northern Lights

Lyra Belacqua lives half-wild and carefree among the scholars of Jordan College, with her daemon familiar, Pantalaimon, always by her side. But the arrival of her fearsome uncle, Lord Asriel, draws her to the heart of a terrible struggle – a struggle born of Gobblers and stolen children, witch clans and armoured bears.

The Subtle Knife
Lyra finds herself in a shimmering, haunted otherworld – Cittàgazze, where soul-eating Spectres stalk the streets and wingbeats of distant angels sound against the sky. But she is not without allies: twelve-year-old Will Parry, fleeing for his life after taking another's, has also stumbled into this strange new realm.

On a perilous journey from world to world, Lyra and Will uncover a deadly secret: an object of extraordinary and devastating power. And with every step, they move closer to an even greater threat – and the shattering truth of their own destiny.

The Amber Spyglass
Will and Lyra, whose fates are bound together by powers beyond their own worlds, have been violently separated. But they must find each other, for ahead of them lies the greatest war that has ever been – and a journey to a dark place from which no one has ever returned . . .

His Dark Materials

A terrific story in three volumes. Philip Pullman’s descriptions of places and people within the books are so clear that one might think you know the place and that you have actually met the characters! It’s a must read, exciting.

A good read

By the time I finished the book, I felt empty. I was emerged in a fantasy world. Now after finishing it I am feeling like my daemon has been separated from me. I quite enjoyed the book.

Astoundingly good read

Late to the party but once I started reading the trilogy I couldn’t put it down. The writing, world building and story are phenomenal - I loved every word of these books!
