With a writing career extending back to the early 1970s, Pullman's great achievement has been in the publication of the \u003cem\u003eHis Dark Materials\u003c\/em\u003e trilogy: \u003cem\u003eNorthern Lights\u003c\/em\u003e (1995; US title \u003cem\u003eThe Golden Compass\u003c\/em\u003e), \u003cem\u003eThe Subtle Knife\u003c\/em\u003e (1997) and \u003cem\u003eThe Amber Spyglass\u003c\/em\u003e (2000). With these novels, which have appealed equally to children and to adults, Pullman has carved a space for himself as a writer of moral seriousness, imaginative depth and storytelling virtuosity.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eClaire Squires' book is the first comprehensive and authoritative study of this great writer. The focus is on Pullman's central achievement with \u003cem\u003eHis Dark Materials\u003c\/em\u003e, but it also considers his entire oeuvre. Importantly, the book informs readers about the contexts, sources and influences behind the trilogy, and examines the controversies and debates that have surrounded the trilogy and its creator, since its publication.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Claire Squires\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0826417167\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826417169\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.42h x 5.54w x 0.64d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2007 pg. 156","brand":"Claire Squires","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926592979199,"sku":"9780826417169","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_3c955885-e34c-4db2-970e-bb6e9cfff97a.jpg?v=1681083941","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/philip-pullman-master-storyteller-claire-squires-9780826417169","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
