Lyra's Oxford

This gorgeous little book is the eagerly anticipated follow up to the HIS DARK MATERIALS trilogy by master storyteller Philip Pullman. NORTHERN LIGHTS, THE SUBTLE KNIFE and THE AMBER SPYGLASS are loved the world over for their superbly imagined worlds and compelling characters. Now, fans of Pullman will be able to enter once again into this stunning universe, following Lyra on yet another adventure through her intriguing world. Lyra's Oxford finds Lyra with her daemon Pantalaimon after the end of The Amber Spyglass. Sitting on the roofs of Oxford she sees the daemon of a witch, a storm petrel, flying towards her pursued by a huge flock of starlings. And a mystery unfolds... In LYRA'S OXFORD the reader will share in the excitement of discovering a small bundle of material that has somehow slipped between Lyra's universe and our own. Including fully illustrated intricate maps and other ephemera from Lyra's universe, the text is illustrated throughout with beautiful black and white prints together with a specially printed pull-out map by master engraver and illustrator John Lawrence. Describing the world of Oxford of Brytain, with Zeppelins to London and where a witch's daemon can be seen flying in the skies above, LYRA'S OXFORD will be one of the most talked about publishing events of the year!
