The Book of Dust: la Belle Sauvage (Volume One) Large Print (608 page paperback) Castle 2018 Philip Pullman
$19.95
Return to the world of His Dark Materials with the first book of a landmark trilogy, The Book of Dust. Malcolm Polstead is the kind of boy who notices everything, and the things he sees trouble him deeply. Enforcement agents from the Magisterium appear in his family’s inn. The explorer Lord Asriel has a precious secret to hide. A gyptian named Coram warns him of a coming flood. A criminal and a beautiful woman, both with disturbing daemons, ask about the same thing—a child, just a baby, named Lyra.
Philip Pullman returns to the parallel world of His Dark Materials – now an HBO original series starring Dafne Keen, Ruth Wilson, Andrew Scott, and Lin-Manuel Miranda – to expand on the story of Lyra, “one of fantasy’s most indelible heroines” (The New York Times Magazine). Malcolm Polstead and his daemon, Asta, are used to overhearing news and the occasional scandal at the inn run by his family. But during a winter of unceasing rain, Malcolm finds a mysterious object–and finds himself in grave danger. Inside the object is a cryptic message about something called Dust, and it’s not long before Malcolm is approached by the spy for whom this message was actually intended. When she asks Malcolm to keep his eyes open, he begins to notice suspicious characters everywhere: the explorer Lord Asriel, clearly on the run; enforcement agents from the Magisterium; a gyptian named Coram with warnings just for Malcolm; and a beautiful woman with an evil monkey for a daemon. All are asking about the same thing: a girl, just a baby, named Lyra. Lyra is at the centre of a storm, and Malcolm will brave any peril and make shocking sacrifices to bring her safely through it.
