HIS DARK MATERIALS- SEPTEMBER 2018 BOOK SELECTION


His Dark Materials is a series of three novels by Phillip Pullman: The Golden Compass(also published under the title Northern Lights), The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass. I read these novels many years ago and was enchanted. I recently experienced them again on Audible.com and was not disappointed.

Pullman’s trilogy is considered a masterpiece and is reminiscent of the works of Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. Like those masters, Pullman has created a story of a parallel universe where magic, witches and talking animals are commonplace At the center of this story is a young, fierce, indomitable little girl, Lyra. Her adventures and struggle to combat evil and right the world create a mythical heroine. Not to be missed.

Highly recommend.
