His Dark Materials: Northern Lights : 1

Description

"Remarkable writing: courageous and

dangerous as the best art should be." The Times

"Only Rankin can light and photograph

faces with such intensity and drama. I'm delighted with this

vision of my story." Philip Pullman

The first volume in the ground-breaking His Dark Materials

trilogy, now with a breath-taking new cover

creatively directed and photographed by the legendary Rankin.

Lyra Belacqua and her animal daemon live half-wild

and carefree among scholars of Jordan College, Oxford.

The

destiny that awaits her will take her to the frozen lands of

the Arctic, where witch-clans reign and ice-bears fight. Her extraordinary

journey will have immeasurable consequences far beyond

her own world...

Rankin's lens

has exquisitely captured the bond between character and daemon; the

soul of the stories

The His Dark Materials

trilogy is award-winning, internationally bestselling and

a modern classic.

Now a major BBC/HBO television

series, with an all-star cast of Ruth Wilson, James McAvoy,

Anne-Marie Duff and Lin-Manuel Miranda
