"Northern Lights", the first part of the Dark
Materials trilogy, has dazzled everyone who read it. When Lyra's friend
Roger disappears, she and her daemon, Pantalaimon, determine to find him. Their
quest leads them to the bleak splendour of the North where a team of scientists
are conducting unspeakably horrible experiments. But something more perilous
awaits Lyra. Set in an England familiar and strange, Philip Pullman's lively,
taut story is a must-read and re-read for fantasy lovers of all ages.
