But now as the rain builds, the world around Malcolm and Asta it seems is set to become increasingly far from ordinary.įinding himself linked to a baby by the name of Lyra Belacqua, Malcolm is forced to undertake the challenge of his life and to make a dangerous journey that will change him and Lyra for ever. He is happiest playing with his daemon, Asta, in their canoe, La Belle Sauvage. When the editors of this journal asked me to review Philip Pullman’s La Belle Sauvage (volume I of The Book of Dust), the big, long-awaited novel succeeding the three books of His Dark Materials (1995-2000), I immediately said yes, because I adore His Dark Materials. Malcolm Polstead's Oxford life has been one of routine, ordinary even. Philip Pullman's magnificent bestseller is now in paperback, with new additional illustrations.
