Kniha Prachu, první díl zamýšlené trilogie, nás zavádí do stejného prostředí, v němž se odehrávaly Jeho temné esence (tedy Zlatý kompas a spol.), Pullman ale děj posunul do doby o deset let dříve. Hrdinou je jedenáctiletý Malcolm Polstead, bystrý chlapec s výborným postřehem. Svou nenápadností je přímo předurčen stát se špionem. V hostinci jeho otce se schází celý Oxford. Malcolm a jeho daemon zde nepozorovaně vyslechnou spoustu novinek a klevet. Jenže pak se chlapci do rukou dostane tajná zpráva, v níž se mluví o nebezpečné substanci zvané Prach. Adresátka zprávy Malcolma vyhledá a požádá ho o spolupráci ohledně předávání informací. V hostinci Malcolmových rodičů se totiž začínají objevovat nezvyklí hosté, ať už z nejvyšších společenských a politických kruhů, nebo z podsvětí, a všichni jeví zájem o nemluvně jménem Lyra, kterou mají v péči jeptišky v nedalekém převorství. Turbulentní události a ničivá potopa nakonec způsobí, že se hrdina spolu s vesnickou dívkou Alicí ocitnou ve člunu “La Belle Sauvage”. Na palubě s nimi cestuje šestiměsíční Lyra, kterou čtenáři znají jako hlavní postavu Jeho temných esencí, a obě starší děti mají za úkol dostat ji do bezpečí k jejímu otci, lordu Asrielovi. V knize se opět kromě lorda Asriela setkáme i s Lyřinou matkou, paní Coulterovou, a s Romunem Coramem van Texelem.

Historické thrillery nebo také staromódní viktoriánské krváky, tak Pullman na svých webových stránkách označuje čtyřdílnou sérii knih o Sally Lockhartové. Záměrně v nich zpracovává otřepaná klišé melodramatu a činí tak s gustem a umem dobrého vypravěče. Druhý příběh z kvarteta se opět odehrává v temných, špinavých uličkách i ve vyhlášených salonech a kabaretech viktoriánského Londýna. Sally si v hlavním městě otevřela firmu zabývající se finančním poradenstvím. Její práce však zdaleka nepředstavuje nudnou poklidnou rutinu, jak by se snad mohlo zdát. Když na dveře její kanceláře zaklepe stará dáma a žádá Sally o pomoc v jisté finanční záležitosti, dívka neváhá a podivného případu se ujme. Svou roli v něm hraje zaoceánský parník, který se bez zjevné příčiny potopil, a k smrti vyděšený kouzelník, který zmizel uprostřed představení. Sally se oběma záhadám snaží přijít na kloub a při svém pátrání narazí na spleť stop, které směřují k zločinci z nejvyšších společenských kruhů. Hrdinka se tak každým krokem nevědomky zaplétá do smrtelného nebezpečí… Pro čtenáře od 12 let.

As they set out on their journey towards the shrine of Thomas a Becket in Canterbury, each character agrees to tell a tale. The twenty-four tales that follow are by turns learned, fantastic, pious, melancholy and lewd, and together offer an unrivalled glimpse into the mind and spirit of medieval England.

An Irish proverb tells us. “A tale is more precious than the wealth of the world,” and judging from the richness of their storytelling traditions, the Celts have always believed this. In In fairy tales, as in music, the romantic artistry of the Celts came to full flower. In this wonderful collection of fairy tales from Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Cornwall, The Isle of Man, and Brittany, we meet heroes and villains, princes and paupers, enchanting creatures and magical mermaids. Each story has been retold by Neil Philip and display a common Celtic heritage in their love of extravagance and poetry, their quick wit and their daring sense of adventure.Here, retold much as they were around Celtic peat fires a hundred years ago, are the enthralling tales of ‘Fair, Brown, and Trembling’, ‘The Brown Bear of the Green Glen’, and ‘The Ship That Went to America’. Some of the stories give familiar tales a Celtic twist: ‘Duffy and the Devil’ is a comic Cornish take on the Rumpelstiltskin story; ‘The Black Cat’ is a dark and mysterious Breton Cinderella. Others seem new and strange: the doomed love of ‘Lutey and the Mermaid’, or the mystic rapture of ‘The Little Bird’. Perhaps most riveting of call is the Irish tale of ‘The Soul Cages’, in which a fisherman makes friends with one of the sea-people, Coomara, and uses that friendship to free the souls of drowned sailors, kept by Coomara in lobster pots in his house beneath the waves. Illustrated in watercolor and gold by acclaimed artist Isabelle Brent, these tales are full of Celtic magic.

A riveting take on an extraordinary relationship - Richard Eden, Daily Mail A fresh and original approach - Hugo Vickers, Royal BiographerShe was sugar pink innocence; he was a handsome war hero. Both had royal blood coursing through their veins. The marriage of Britain s Princess Elizabeth to Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten in November 1947 is remembered as the beginning of an extraordinary, lifelong union but success was not guaranteed. Elizabeth and Philip: A Story of Young Love, Marriage and Monarchy plunges us back into the 1940s when a teenage princess fell in love with a foreign prince. Cue fears of a flirtatious Greek fortune hunter stealing off with Britain s crown jewel and Philip s supporters scrambling to reframe him as a good fit for the Royal Family. Drawing on original newspaper archives and the opinions of Elizabeth and Philip s contemporaries, historian Dr Tessa Dunlop discovers a post-war world on the cusp of major change. Unprecedented polling on Philip s suitability was a harbinger of pressures to come for a couple whose marriage was branded the ultimate global fairytale. Theirs was a partnership like no other. Six years after Elizabeth promised to be an obedient wife Philip got down on bended knee at the coronation and committed himself as the Queen s liege man of life and limb. Published 75 years after their marriage, this deeply touching history explores the ups and downs, the public appeal and the private tensions that defined an extraordinary relationship. The high stakes involved might have devoured a less committed pair - but Elizabeth and Philip shared a common purpose, one higher even than marriage, with roots much deeper than young love. Happy and Glorious, for better or for worse, how did their union succeed? Monarchy was the magic word.

There are also some less-well known stories that will delight a new generation of children including Five Peas from the Same Pod, The Goblin at the Grocer’s, The Flying Trunk and The Beetle. Originally the son of a poor shoemaker, the secret of Andersen’s success is that he wrote his stories as if he were telling them to a child.

Delightfully illustrated with Isabelle Brent’s magical watercolours, lavishly embellished with gold decorations.
