The Amber Spyglass - Film Tie-In, Unabridged (Unabridged ed)

The extraordinary conclusion to Philip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" trilogy, read by the author and a full cast. "This is fantasy for the millennium - fantasy at its most ambitious and most serious". ("Times Educational Supplement"). Philip Pullman began his stunning trilogy with 'Northern Lights', a dazzling fantasy which appealed to children and adults alike.

The second volume, "The Subtle Knife", was equally spellbinding, and here he brings the series to a conclusion that is both thrilling and poignant.

In this final part of the story, Lyra Silvertongue and Will Parry, the two children at the heart of the books, find themselves facing great perils.

They have become separated from each other, and their friends.

Can they complete their mysterious quest before it is too late?

The great rebellion against the dark powers that hold Lyra's world in thrall is nearing its climax.

But there are old friends who come to their aid, not least Iorek Byrnison, the armoured bear, and the scientist Dr Mary Malone.

There are strange new allies: the Gallivespians, hand-high dragonfly riders with poison spurs, and the mulefa, strange wheeled creatures with the power to see Dust. And there are new dangers, including a journey to the worst world of all - a journey that exacts a terrible cost on both children.
