About this title

Review:

In the epic trilogy His Dark Materials, Philip Pullman unlocks the door to worlds parallel to our own. Dæmons and winged creatures live side by side with humans, and a mysterious entity called Dust just might have the power to unite the universes--if it isn't destroyed first. The three books in Pullman's heroic fantasy series, published as trade paperbacks, are united here in one dazzling boxed set that includes The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass. In these new editions, each chapter opens with artwork by Pullman himself, along with chapter quotations from the likes of Milton, Donne, Black, Byron, and the Bible that did not appear in earlier editions. Join Lyra, Pantalaimon, Will, and the rest as they embark on the most breathtaking, heartbreaking adventure of their lives. The fate of the universe is in their hands. (Ages 13 and older)

From the Inside Flap:

Available in a deluxe gold boxed set: the lavish trade paperback editions of Philip Pullman's award-winning HIS DARK MATERIALS trilogy, including THE GOLDEN COMPASS, THE SUBTLE KNIFE, and THE AMBER SPYGLASS, hailed by The Oregonian as "the most magnificent fantasy series since Lord of the Rings." Ideal for kids and adults alike.
