A stunning graphic novel adaptation of part one of Northern Lights, the first book in the His Dark Materials trilogy.

"Spellbinding." Daily Telegraph "Readers are quickly drawn into the dreaming spires of Jordan College, the magnificence of Lyra's nemesis Mrs. Coulter's mansion, and the fens of the water-dwelling gyptians, all presented in a fast-paced series of compressed, closely-worked panels. The story's signature fantasies [...] are realized with compelling force. Skillfully translated back into English, Melchior-Durand and Oubrerie's retelling will bring Pullman's work new fans and give previous readers new pleasure." Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A stunning, dense and deep novel ... funny and unquenchably imaginative." Observer "Pullman's writing is spellbinding, his storytelling brilliant." Scotsman "His Dark Materials wasn't just the best children's book - it was also the most interesting fictional experiment of our times." Reader's Digest
