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”.

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.

With a foreword by Neil Gaiman, this comprehensive, entertaining and authentic collection of English folktales is perfect for fans of Madeline Miller, Philip Pullman and the Brothers Grimm.This is a golden treasury of over one hundred English folktales captured in the form they were first collected in past centuries. Read these classic tales as they would have been told when storytelling was a living art – when the audience believed in boggarts and hobgoblins, local witches and will-o’-the-wisps, ghosts and giants, cunning foxes and royal frogs. Find “Jack the Giantkiller”, “Tom Tit Tot” and other quintessentially English favourites, alongside interesting borrowings, such as an English version of the Grimms’ “Little Snow White” – as well as bedtime frighteners, including “Captain Murderer”, as told to Charles Dickens by his childhood nurse.Neil Philip has provided a full introduction and source notes on each story that illustrate each tale’s journey from mouth to page, and what has happened to them on the way. These tales rank among the finest English short stories of all time in their richness of metaphor and plot and their great verbal dash and daring.
