Publisher's Summary
All three BBC radio dramatisations of the best-selling fantasy trilogy - plus bonus material.
A breathtaking epic spanning multiple worlds, His Dark Materials follows the adventures of Lyra Belacqua and Will Parry, two children catapulted into a life-or-death struggle to save the future of the Cosmos.
In Northern Lights, 11-year-old Lyra discovers dark forces at work involving kidnapped children and a mysterious substance called 'Dust'. With her shape-shifting daemon, Pantalaimon, she leaves her Oxford college home and embarks on a dangerous journey to the frozen North, aided by armoured bears, Gyptians and a witch-queen....
The Subtle Knife sees 12-year-old Will finding an opening into the haunted world of Cittàgazze, where daemon-destroying Spectres roam. There he meets Lyra, and together they acquire the most powerful weapon in all the universes - an object many would kill to possess.
In The Amber Spyglass, a colossal war is brewing in Heaven, and Lyra and Will have been separated. They must find each other and journey onward - even into the World of the Dead....
These thrilling dramatisations feature an all-star cast, including Lulu Popplewell, Terence Stamp, Bill Paterson, Kenneth Cranham and Adrian Scarborough.
Also included is a bonus documentary, World Book Club, in which Philip Pullman answers readers' questions about Northern Lights.

Great story as expected but
The dramatisation feels lazily done. So many key moments fall flat and feel un impactful. I didn’t realise until after I’d bought the book it was an extremely shortened version too. I wanted the 3 books in one and thought this was it. I’ll listen to the originals and finish this review, at the moment I feel like it’s not doing the story justice. But I won’t know until I listen to the original books

Story falls flat
This was my first read of the series and I wish I had checked the duration of the books before I purchased. The books are severely cut so I was often left confused with what was happening. At some points I even wondered why some characters were there at all.
All description has been omitted from the story leaving most of the story purely dialogue with stilly inner monologues to describe what the character is doing in a scene. Very odd and unnatural.
I actually thought the writing and story were terrible because of this version, until I began listening to the proper full audio book.
Skip this version and buy the full book. I wish I had!
