With a cast including Terence Stamp, Bill Paterson, and Kenneth Cranham, these BBC Radio 4 full-cast adaptations of the award-winning His Dark Materials trilogy span a multitude of worlds. Northern Lights is set in a parallel world like, yet very unlike, our own. Twelve-year-old Lyra, whose daemon Pantalaimon is part of her very self, is growing up in an ancient, ritual-haunted Oxford. She becomes involved in a quest to find her father and rescue her friend Roger from evil kidnappers, aided by armored bears, Gyptians, and a witch-queen. The second book, The Subtle Knife, introduces us to Will Parry--a young boy with a dangerous mission to fulfill. When he and Lyra cross paths, they decide to help each other, but the world of Citt gazze is a strange and unsettling place, where deadly soul-eating Spectres roam. The trilogy's conclusion, The Amber Spyglass, brings the saga to a thrilling close. Lyra and Will are aided by friends old and new as they continue their perilous journey. As childhood slips away, they face further dangers--including a terrifying voyage to the world of the dead. Mixing science, theology, and magic to fantastic and exciting effect, Pullman's gripping trilogy was an international bestseller, and these thrilling full-cast dramatizations bring Philip Pullman's masterpiece to vivid life. 6 CDs. 7 hrs 30 mins approx.
