La Belle Sauvage

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. 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.
