Embark on an extraordinary journey with the inaugural instalment of Philip Pullman's revolutionary HIS DARK MATERIALS trilogy. This captivating narrative, now a critically acclaimed BBC/HBO television series, has enthralled readers since its 1995 debut, garnering the UK's most prestigious children's literature accolades.
"Without this child, we shall all die." These haunting words set the stage for Lyra Belacqua's epic adventure. Alongside her animal daemon, Lyra leads a carefree existence amidst the scholarly halls of Oxford's Jordan College. However, her destiny beckons, propelling her towards the Arctic's icy expanses, where formidable witch-clans hold sway and ice-bears engage in fierce combat.
Lyra's remarkable odyssey will ripple far beyond the confines of her own realm, with consequences of unimaginable magnitude. This edition boasts a striking cover crafted by the esteemed artist Chris Wormell, adding visual splendour to an already mesmerising tale.
The television adaptation of His Dark Materials has taken the world by storm. The inaugural season, Northern Lights, graced BBC1 screens in November 2019, followed by The Subtle Knife in November 2020. Devotees eagerly anticipate the announcement of the release date for the third season, The Amber Spyglass, to complete this enthralling saga.

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.’
