The Golden Compass, 1995), The Subtle Knife (1997), and The Amber Spyglass (2000). The series is a wonderful adventure story and a witty rewriting of Judæo-Christian religion via John Milton and William Blake and the English literary tradition of metaphysical, religious vision.The His Dark Materials books have received numerous awards, including the Carnegie Medal and Guardian Fiction Prize for Northern Lights in 1995. The Whitbread award was important in raising the profile of His Dark Materials in Hollywood.This book includes chapters on every aspect of the His Dark Materials series, including the characters, the plots, the themes, the issues and the style; on Pullman's other fiction for children, such as the Sally Lockhart series and his fairy tale books; on recent fiction by Pullman (including the Book of Dust series); and full explorations of the film and TV adaptations of His Dark Materials.Fully illustrated, with images from the adaptations of His Dark Materials and other works by Philip Pullman.With filmography, bibliography and notes. 384 pages.
