About the author

Sir Philip Nicholas Outram Pullman is an English writer. His books include the fantasy trilogy His Dark Materials and The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ, a fictionalised biography of Jesus. In 2008, The Times named Pullman one of the "50 greatest British writers since 1945". In a 2004 BBC poll, he was named the eleventh most influential person in British culture. He was knighted in the 2019 New Year Honours for services to literature.
Northern Lights, the first volume in His Dark Materials, won the 1995 Carnegie Medal of the Library Association as the year's outstanding English-language children's book. For the Carnegie's 70th anniversary, it was named in the top ten by a panel tasked with compiling a shortlist for a public vote for an all-time favourite. It won that public vote and was named all-time "Carnegie of Carnegies" in June 2007. It was filmed under the book's US title, The Golden Compass. In 2003, His Dark Materials trilogy ranked third in the BBC's The Big Read, a poll of 200 top novels voted by the British public.

Reviews

[Haley The Caffeinated Reader · Rating 3 out of 5]

I am a huge Philip Pullman fan, these aren’t new stories from him but they have been given a lovely new edition. The Firework Maker’s Daughter feels like a classic Andersen tale, and both have a classic children’s story feel. The first story is probably something that stays in a bygone era as lovely as it is, I think it doesn’t hold up nearly as well as Clockwork. Clockwork felt entirely like Pullman’s style and the story is one that I think is a more timeless story.

The illustrator does a great job connecting the story and art and Pullman gives us the sort of story that I would easily reread again. Two short stories in a beautiful edition and it helps tide me over for the third Book of Dust. I’m so excited to have received this from Everymanslibrary.

I was pleasantly surprised by these stories - they are simple, but very very interesting ones. These are my first Philip Pullman tales and I’m very impressed. Definitely reading more from this author.
