The Subtle Knife

The Subtle Knife: 2 (His Dark Materials)

Philip Pullman (author), Chris Wormell (illustrator)

"What is he? A friend, or an enemy?"

"He is a murderer."

Will has just killed a man. He's on the run.

His escape will take him far beyond his own world, to the eerie disquiet of a deserted city, and to a girl, Lyra.

Her fate is strangely linked to his own, and together they must find the most powerful weapon in all the worlds...

PHILIP PULLMAN is one of the most acclaimed writers working today. He is best known for the His Dark Materials trilogy (The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, The Amber Spyglass), which has been named one of the top 100 novels of all time by Newsweek and one of the all-time greatest novels by Entertainment Weekly. He has also won many distinguished prizes, including the Carnegie Medal for The Golden Compass (and the reader-voted "Carnegie of Carnegies" for the best children's book of the past seventy years); the Whitbread (now Costa) Award for The Amber Spyglass; a Booker Prize long-list nomination (The Amber Spyglass); Parents' Choice Gold Awards (The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass); and the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award, in honor of his body of work. In 2004, he was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire.

It has recently been announced that The Book of Dust, the much anticipated new book from Mr. Pullman, also set in the world of His Dark Materials, will be published as a major work in three parts, with the first part to arrive in October 2017.
