Publisher Description
The award-winning His Dark Materials trilogy is a breathtaking epic adventure spanning a multitude of worlds. Northern Lights, the opening instalment, sees Lyra and her shape-changing daemon embark on a dangerous quest. In Oxford, Lyra learns that children are being kidnapped by the mysterious Gobblers. When her friend Roger vanishes she determines to find him, and is given a powerful alethiometer which can reveal the truth in all things. After discovering that the adults around her are not what they seem, Lyra and Pantalaimon join forces with a band of Gyptians. Travelling north they encounter witch-queens and armoured bears, before being captured and taken to Bolvangar – where children are being used in terrible and secret experiments... Gripping, full of suspense and often funny, this BBC Radio 4 dramatisation has an all-star cast including Terence Stamp, Emma Fielding, Bill Paterson, Kenneth Cranham, and Ray Fearon.
Customer Reviews
An amazing book
It is very good. I enjoy it so much. The only thing I am disappointed about it when I have not been listening to it, the sound doesn’t work. I’m not sure if that’s just my phone or not but I am highly annoyed.
Dramatisation
It’s a radio drama, even says so in the description. You really have to question the intelligence of the people complaining and giving it a low rating just because they lack the ability to read…
Not An Audiobook
This is a audio dramatisation of the book - not an audiobook - it’s really quite difficult to follow if you’re in a noisy car.
