Product details

‘Too few things in our own world are worth a 17-year-wait: “The Book of Dust” is one of them.’
  1. Washington Post
La Belle Sauvage is the first volume of The Book of Dust, Philip Pullman’s highly anticipated return to the much-loved world of His Dark Materials. This special collector’s edition has been produced in series with Folio’s enormously popular His Dark Materials three-volume set, with series artist Peter Bailey returning to provide 11 atmospheric colour illustrations. Pullman has written a special new foreword exclusively for this edition, and the decorative slipcase is branded with a ring of glittery Dust. Taking place 12 years before the events of Northern Lights, this coming-of-age epic gives readers a glimpse of Lyra Belacqua as a baby and reveals the remarkable events and heroics that led to her finding a home at Jordan College. The brilliant keystones of Lyra’s world – the daemons, the aleithometer – are still present, only alongside a new set of heroes to love and to follow. An unmissable volume for anyone eager to return to the fantastical worlds of Lyra’s Oxford and beyond.

It's Pullman! Sooo glad Peter Bailey was invited to continue the illustrations from HDM - he's been a favourite of mine for many years. I feel he doesn't always get due credit for his work - his efforts here are simply perfect!

Thank goodness for Folio Society I’m a pessimist and armchair philosopher so I need to just walk away from the serious titles and forget about cold hard reality thank goodness these childrens books exist .
