Benny, Bridie and Thunderbolt's other friends in the New Cut Gang, set out to prove his innocence with the help of an all too life-like waxwork model.

A deliciously terrifying and wickedly funny Gothic tale. Originally published in 1982, this new edition is a treat no Pullman fan should miss.

Nun val á sombra dos rododendros, preto da liña das neves perpetuas, por onde corría un regato coa cor leitosa das augas do desxeo, e no cal as pombas e os liñaceiros voaban por entre inmensos piñeiros, había unha cova medio oculta por un penedo que tiña enriba e pola mesta e irta follaxe que se amoreaba debaixo dela. Trala publicación de "A aurora boreal" e "O coitelo sutil", este derradeiro volume da triloxía 'A materia escura' transcorre entre o noso propio universo e outros moitos. A primeira parte estaba ambientada na época vitoriana, onde mandaban os férreos corsés da moral e das crenzas. A seguinte aventura transcorría no mundo actual coñecido. Nesta terceira entrega, Lyra e Will irán atopando todas as respostas aos enigmas que os envolven, e descubrirán por que foron eles os elixidos para desvelar o gran egredo. Despois da gran guerra terán que afrontar o seu propio destino.

'I THINK OF HIM ALL THE TIME,AND HE THINKS OF ME NOT AT ALL ...'This is the story of two brothers. One is impassioned and one reserved. One is destined to go down in history and the other to be forgotten.In Philip Pullman's hands, this sacred tale is reborn as one of the most enchanting, thrilling and visionary stories of recent years.

The much-anticipated new work from the author of The Golden Compass is coming at last!Renowned storyteller Philip Pullman returns to the parallel world of Lyra Belacqua and His Dark Materials for a thrilling and epic adventure in which daemons, alethiometers, and the Magisterium all play a part.The Book of Dust will be a work in three parts, like His Dark Materials (The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, The Amber Spyglass).The title and cover of this first story will remain under wraps until a later date, but it can be revealed that the book is set ten years before The Golden Compass and centers on the much-loved character Lyra and her daemon Pantalaimon.Philip Pullman offers these tantalizing details: "I've always wanted to tell the story of how Lyra came to be living at Jordan College, and in thinking about it, I discovered a long story that began when she was a baby and will end when she's grown up. This volume and the next will cover two parts of Lyra's life: starting at the beginning of her story and returning to her twenty years later. As for the third and final part, my lips are sealed."So, second: is it a prequel? Is it a sequel? It's neither. In fact, The Book of Dust is . . . an equel. It doesn't stand before or after His Dark Materials, but beside it. It's a different story, but there are settings that readers of His Dark Materials will recognize, and characters they've met before. Also, of course, there are some characters who are new to us, including an ordinary boy (a boy we have glimpsed in an earlier part of Lyra's story, if we were paying attention) who, with Lyra, is caught up in a terrifying adventure that takes him into a new world."Third: why return to Lyra's world? Dust. Questions about that mysterious and troubling substance were already causing strife ten years before His Dark Materials, and at the center of The Book of Dust is the struggle between a despotic and totalitarian organization, which wants to stifle speculation and inquiry, and those who believe thought and speech should be free. The idea of Dust suffused His Dark Materials. Little by little through that story the idea of what Dust was became clearer and clearer, but I always wanted to return to it and discover more."The books of the His Dark Materials trilogy were showered with praise, and the Cincinnati Enquirer proclaimed, "Pullman has created the last great fantasy masterpiece of the twentieth century." With The Book of Dust, Philip Pullman embarks on an equally grand adventure, sure to be hailed as the first great fantasy masterpiece of the twenty-first century.
