JW consignment. Shelved case 8. 'His Dark Materials' was originally published as a 3-volume trilogy consisting of 'Northern Lights' 'The Subtle Knife' and 'The Amber Spyglass', and first published from 1995-2000. The series itself, while marketed as a young-adult series, was written with no particular audience in mind, with elements of fantasy and science-fiction coming together in a tale which explores physics, philosophy, and theology. Outside of the pages, the series is known for Philip Pullman's statement that it is meant to commend humanity for what the poet John Milton coined "original sin" in his work 'Paradise Lost'. This and references to the Catholic church among other religious institutions has earned the series some controversy for "criticizing religion". "Lyra's Oxford" and "Once Upon a Time in the North" are both novellas meant to expand on the world of "His Dark Materials". "Lyra's Oxford" takes place two years after "The Amber Spyglass", when Lyra is 15 years old, and contains a variety of ephemera meant to be from the world. "Once Upon a Time in the North" is a prequel book written to show the first meeting between Iorek Byrnison and Lee Scoresby, two major characters and companions of Lyra throughout the original trilogy. Both novellas received glowing reviews upon release, and have since become core parts of the overall series. 1384525. Shelved Dupont Bookstore.…
