‘I was a rat!’ So insists a scruffy boy named Roger. Maybe it’s true, but what is he now? A terrifying monster running wild in the sewers? The Daily Scourge is sure of it. A victim of ‘Rodent Delusion’? The hospital nurse says yes. A lucrative fairground attraction? He is to Mr. Tapscrew. Or is Roger just an ordinary little boy? Only three people believe this version of the story, and it may take a royal intervention–and a bit of magic–to convince everyoneelse. A playful parody of the press, I Was a Rat! is a magical weaving of humour, fairy tale, and adventure.When, in A Scarecrow and His Servant, a bolt of lightning brings Scarecrow to life, he proves to be a courteous but pea-brained fellow with grand ideas. He meets a boy, Jack, who becomes his faithful servant and the two embark upon a terrifying series of adventures–including battles, brigands, broken hearts, and treasure islands. But little does the Scarecrow know that he is being followed by a family who desperately wishes he’d never sprung to life.Two stories of myth, magic and adventure from the master teller of tales.

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 ... Unknown localization key: "more"

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.
