Two young people and their dmons, with everything at stake, find themselves at the centre of a terrifying manhunt. In their care is a tiny child called Lyra Belacqua, and in that child lies the fate of the future.As the waters rise around them, powerful adversaries conspire for mastery of Dust: salvation to some, the source of infinite corruption to others.Philip Pullmans The Book of Dust La Belle Sauvage is set twelve years before the epic His Dark Materials trilogy. Bryony Laverys stage adaptation was first performed at the Bridge Theatre, London, in December 2021, directed by Nicholas Hytner, whose groundbreaking production of His Dark Materials was a critical and commercial success at the National Theatre.Once in a lifetime a childrens author emerges who is so extraordinary that the imagination of generations is altered New Statesman on Philip Pullman

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: Ive 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 shes grown up. This volume and the next will cover two parts of Lyras 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? Its neither. In fact, The Book of Dust is . . . an equel. It doesnt stand before or after His Dark Materials, but beside it. Its a different story, but there are settings that readers of His Dark Materials will recognize, and characters theyve 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 Lyras 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 Lyras 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.

From the writer of The Golden Compass - controversial for its depiction of a patriarchal and inhumane Catholic-like institution - comes an articulation of his belief through the "myth" of the life of Jesus Christ. Does for the Gospels what Wicked did for The Wizard of Oz. The book covers similar themes to Timothy Findley's Not Wanted on the Voyage and Barbara Kingsolver's The Poisonwood Bible.
