In this second instalment of Philip Pullman's revolutionary His Dark Materials trilogy, now reissued in hardback with a captivating fine art cover, we delve deeper into a world of intrigue and danger.
Young Will, a fugitive who has just committed murder, finds himself on a perilous journey that transcends the boundaries of his own reality. His path intersects with that of Lyra, a girl whose destiny is mysteriously intertwined with his own. Together, they embark on a quest to locate the most formidable weapon across all dimensions.
This edition, adorned with Georgio de Chirico's 1914 masterpiece 'Melancholy and Mystery of the Street', is poised to become a prized collector's item. It serves as the perfect companion to the Classic Art Edition of Northern Lights, offering readers a visually stunning way to experience this gripping tale.
The Subtle Knife has recently gained renewed acclaim as the inspiration behind the second series of the critically lauded BBC/HBO television adaptation, further cementing its place in the pantheon of modern fantasy literature.

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.’
