"His Dark Materials" is one of the most popular, award-winning trilogies of all time. With the upcoming film release of the "The Golden Compass" by New Line Cinema, the producers of "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, interest is sure to skyrocket for this bestselling series that the "New York Times" called "a modern classic." For the first time ever, Lois H. Gresh helps young readers examine Pullman's intricate universe with "Exploring His Dark Materials", the ultimate companion guide. Gresh's fun, interactive book explores the complex science, religion, and fantastic elements of "His Dark Materials" in a way that's both informative and fun for younger readers.
