"This is a wonderful episode from the world of Philip Pullman's bestselling trilogy, His Dark Materials. In Lyra's Oxford the reader shares the huge excitement of discovering a small bundle of material that has somehow slipped between Lyra's universe and our own. The book includes a wonderful new story by Philip Pullman, fully illustrated intricate maps and other ephemera from Lyra's universe. The text is illustrated throughout in beautiful black and white wood-blocks by the highly acclaimed engraver, John Lawrence, together with specially printed three-colour pull out maps of Lyra's Oxford. This publication could have come from a parallel universe. The short story contained within Lyra's Oxford finds Lyra with her daemon Pantalaimon a couple of years after the end of The Amber Spyglass. Sitting on the roofs of Oxford she sees a bird, the daemon of a witch, a storm petrel flying towards her pursued by a huge and angry flock of starlings. Birds play a big part in this story. And gradually a mystery unfolds..."

This book is that gift in miniature" -- John Ezard Guardian "Grippingly funny and infused with the vitality of a master storyteller" -- Amanda Craig The Times "Beautifully written ... a welcome chance to revisit Lyra that many young readers will savour" School Librarian "Exquisitely produced ... Truly a collector's piece, this is a must" The Good Book Guide "This is a book for all Pullman readers and is sufficiently intriguing to entice new readers into Lyra's world" Child Education
