Attention all serious book collectors and fans of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials. This undoubtedly beautiful package, cloth-bound in a classy red and adorned by numerous illustrations by master engraver and illustrator John Lawrence, is sure to be a must-purchase. A pint-sized pocket volume, Lyra's Oxford packages together a short story set in the same universe as his famous trilogy, a fold-out map of the alternate-reality city of Oxford which Lyra and her daemon Pantalaimon inhabit, a short brochure for a cruise to The Levant aboard the SS Zenobia and a postcard from the inventor of the amber spyglass, Mary Malone. Pullman, in his introduction, suggests that the peripheral items within "might be connected with the story, or they might not; they might be connected to stories that haven't appeared yet. It's difficult to tell." The story, "Lyra and the Birds", begins when Lyra and Pantalaimon spot a witch's daemon called Ragi being pursued over the rooftops of Oxford by a frenzied pack of birds. The daemon heads straight for Lyra and is given shelter. The creature was given Lyra's name as somebody who might help. The daemon is seeking one Sebastian Makepeace--an alchemist living in a part of Oxford known as Jericho. Together Lyra and Pan try to guide the daemon to the home of this man, but it is a journey fraught with more danger than they had at first anticipated. Somehow, this is a book that puzzles and fascinates all at the same time. It's very sumptuous and lovingly crafted but tantalising brief. The fourth volume in Pullman's award-winning sequence is The Book of Dust and despite the author's reputation for taking his time in writing each of his longer works, it is now just too far away in the future to be funny anymore. (Age 10 and over)--John McLay
Synopsis
This is a wonderful new episode from the world of Philip Pullman's bestselling trilogy, His Dark Materials, to be published in November 2003. In Lyra's Oxford the reader will share the huge excitement of discovering a small bundle of material that has somehow slipped between Lyra's universe and our own. The book will include a wonderful new story by Philip Pullman, fully illustrated intricate maps and other ephemera from Lyra's universe. The text will be illustrated throughout in beautiful black and white wood-blocks by the highly acclaimed engraver, John Lawrence, together with specially printed three-colour pull out maps of Lyra's Oxford. This publication could have come from a parallel universe. The short story contained within Lyra's Oxford finds Lyra with her daemon Pantalaimon a couple of years after the end of The Amber Spyglass. Sitting on the roofs of Oxford she sees a bird, the daemon of a witch, a storm petrel flying towards her pursued by a huge and angry flock of starlings. Birds play a big part in this story. And gradually a mystery unfolds--A beguiling new episode from the universe of His Dark Materials and other matter never before seen in this world

After the gourmet banquet that was "His Dark Materials", Pullman seems to have written this little book as something to whet the appetites of his fans. I feel at this point that I have to emphasise the word "little" as the book is only 49 pages long and I finished it in 20 minutes! Other fans have complained of being "ripped off" but for 5 Euros, it is a nice little story with beautiful illustrations, and it gives some nice "back story" to the whole Dark Materials trilogy.A witch's daemon, in the form of a black bird, arrives at Jordan College in Oxford looking for Lyra and Pantalaimon. The daemon claims that its witch is dying of a disease which can only be cured by a medicine which is made by Oxford's only alchemist. Lyra readily claims to help the daemon find the alchemist, despite being warned by friends that this particular alchemist is two cookies short of a cookie jar in the head. But as they progress through the dark streets of Oxford, Lyra and Pan start to feel that the daemon is not telling them the whole story.....This book comes with a map of Lyra's Oxford along with other illustrations. It is perfect for Dark Materials completionists and collectors but anyone merely looking for a good standalone story may feel a little let down by the mere 49 pages. I on the other hand found it great and would recommend it to fans of this genre.
schneller Versand, schöne Verarbeitung, Preis/Leiszung top. Ich bin einfach nur glücklich mit dem Artikel, ein echtes muss für alle Fans der Reihe.
Hatte mir ehrlich gesagt mehr erwartet! Nettes Geschichtchen, gut zu lesen, kurzweilig. Allerdings auch schnell vorbeigerauscht, da doch recht kurz! Ist mehr ein Kapitel als eine abgeschlossene Geschichte. Wenig seiten für doch etwas viel Geld! Aber wie gesagt: "Ganz nett".
"This book contains a story in several other things. The other things might be connected with the story, or they might not; they might be connected to stories that haven't appeared yet. It's not easy to tell."It has now been a couple of years since Lyra had her adventures in the dark materials. She is now settled in the Oxford of her world. Lying on the roof with her daemon, Pantalaimon (From: Pine marten) Lyra speculates on the meaning of the random movements of birds. Little did Lyra realize that this would soon bring her to a new adventure in the search for a well known alchemist; and a new understanding of witches, and life in general.This story can easily be a trial balloon for a new book.------------------------------------------------------------The unabridged production on one compact disk may be a tad more expensive. However it is performed by the author and a full cast on top of this is not a well-designed case and a pamphlet tells a little bit about the beginning of the book also includes some of the materials that he describes the beginning it might've been lost between worlds. There are some pictures of Oxford that might be the real one might not. And a foldout map of Lyra's Oxford.Bill Pullman sounds awful lot like Jim Dale as he begins his story with a quote from Oskar Baedecker's "The Coast of Bohemia."
