Look insideNorthern Lights Pack
An epic quest between worlds, into ice and mortal danger. Much more than just a fantasy, this series has sold multi-millions of copies, won just about every children’s book prize going and upset the Pope. Books don’t get more powerful. Journey into an Arctic wilderness of ice and snow, where witch-queens ride the skies, armoured bears roam the snow, and scientists conduct experiments of unspeakable terror. If you only read one book series this year, pick this one. The prizes confirm it: books really do not get better.
“Rarely, if ever, have readers been offered such a casket of wonders.” Independent
“Spellbinding writing, brilliant storytelling.” Scotsman

Philip won the Nestle Smarties award for both Clockwork and The Firework Maker’s Daughter. Northern Lights was published in hardback in July 1995. That year, it won the Carnegie Medal and Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize and was Children’s Book of the Year at the British Book Awards.
The Amber Spyglass won WHSmith Children’s Book of the Year 2000 at the British Book Awards, was Highly Commended for the Carnegie Medal and was longlisted for The Booker Prize 2001. Philip Pullman was voted Whitaker Author of the Year by the Booksellers Association.
