Embark on an extraordinary adventure with the inaugural instalment of Philip Pullman's revolutionary His Dark Materials trilogy, now reissued in a sumptuous hardback edition adorned with a captivating fine art cover.
"This child's absence shall spell our doom."
In the hallowed halls of Oxford's Jordan College, young Lyra Belacqua and her animal daemon revel in a life of semi-feral abandon amongst the scholarly denizens. Yet, an astonishing destiny beckons, propelling her towards the Arctic's icy expanses, where formidable witch-clans hold sway and fearsome ice-bears engage in brutal combat. Lyra's remarkable odyssey shall yield consequences of unimaginable magnitude, reverberating far beyond the confines of her own realm.
This exquisite art edition, showcasing Balthus' 1944 masterpiece 'Jeune Fille en Vert et Rouge', is destined to become a prized collector's item. It serves as the perfect companion to the Classic Art Edition of The Subtle Knife.
The tale of Northern Lights has recently captivated audiences anew as the foundation for the critically acclaimed inaugural series of the BBC/HBO television adaptation.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
