– The Book of Dust #1 –
Release date: October 19, 2017 • 464 Pages •
His Dark Materials author, Philip Pullman, is releasing the primary volume of The Book of Dust trilogy on his 71st birthday! La Belle Sauvage is the first installment and it features 11-year-old Malcolm Polstead and his dæmon, Asta. Malcolm often navigates the River Thames using a boat that gave the name of the book and soon finds out that the nuns of Godstow Priory are hosting a baby by the name of Lyra Belacqua…
“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.” – Philip Pullman
