His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass, the Subtle Knife, the Amber Spyglass; In

<b><b><i>HIS DARK MATERIALS </i>IS NOW AN HBO ORIGINAL SERIES STARRING DAFNE KEEN, RUTH WILSON, JAMES McAVOY, AND LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA </b> <p/>The only hardcover omnibus of the best-selling and award-winning fantasy trilogy.</b> <p/> Philip Pullman's trilogy is a masterpiece that transcends genre and appeals to readers of all ages. His heroine, Lyra, is an orphan living in a parallel universe in which science, theology, and magic are entwined. The epic story that takes us through the three novels is not only a spellbinding adventure featuring armored polar bears, magical devices, witches, and daemons, it is also an audacious and profound reimagining of Milton's <i>Paradise Lost </i>that has already inspired a number of serious books of literary criticism. Like J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis before him, Pullman has invented a richly detailed and marvelously imagined world, complex and thought-provoking enough to enthrall adults as well as younger readers. An utterly entrancing blend of metaphysical speculation and bravura storytelling, <i>His Dark Materials </i>is a monumental and enduring achievement. <p/><b>Don't miss Philip Pullman's epic new trilogy set in the world of His Dark Materials </b><br><b>** THE BOOK OF DUST **</b><br><b><i>La Belle Sauvage</i>--now in paperback</b><br><b><i>The Secret Commonwealth</i>--available now</b><br><br><b>Author:</b> Philip Pullman<br><b>Publisher:</b> Everyman's Library<br><b>Published:</b> 12/06/2011<br><b>Pages:</b> 1144<br><b>Bindi
