Description

Lyra's Oxford is a beautifully illustrated story that takes place two years after the events of The Amber Spyglass. Lyra and her daemon Pantalaimon sit on the roof of Jordan College, gazing down on the streets of Oxford, when a flock of starlings appears, causing trouble. The daemon they meet carries worrying news of a sickness spreading in the north and claims that only Lyra can help him. But is he a friend or foe? This book contains a story, as well as other elements that may be connected to it. It also includes an extract from Philip Pullman's second short story set in the His Dark Materials world, Once Upon a Time in the North, illustrated with exquisite wood-cut engravings by John Lawrence. A map and other missives are also included, which seem to have slipped from Lyra's world into our own. The book is a unique and captivating addition to the His Dark Materials series, offering a fresh perspective on the world and characters that fans have come to love.
