Philip Pullman has ended years of speculation by announcing that The Book of Dust, his epic fantasy trilogy, which will stand alongside his bestselling series, His Dark Materials, will be published in October around the world.
I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SIXTEEN YEARS OMG IM CRY
Philip Pullman’s beloved His Dark Materials novels are getting another screen adaptation, this time from the BBC.
The first book in the trilogy, The Golden Compass (titled Northern Lights internationally), became a movie in 2007, but its sequels were cancelled due to financial concerns—or, according to actor Sam Elliot, pressure from the Catholic Church.
His Dark Materials is one of the most iconic works of children’s literature in recent memory, second only to Harry Potter in the minds of many fans and critics. Beginning as a quasi-Victorian fantasy adventure about a young girl named Lyra, the trilogy gradually expands into an epic tale spanning parallel universes and tackling complex moral and emotional themes.
