Book summaryFans of Philip Pullman's bestselling fantasy trio, His Dark Materials, will devour this petite, well-bound story about the fraught first meeting of aeronaut Lee Scoresby and legendary polar bear, Iorek Byrnison. Crash landing in the harsh, icy north, Lee and his daemon, Hester, find themselves in the midst of a political showdown involving a crooked politician, supposedly menacing bears, and a drunken captain. Accompanied by gorgeous engravings and a special board game. Media reviews"Beautifully crafted and spilling over with action, the novel has the feel of an old western (one can almost see Gary Cooper as Lee)...Lawrence's stamp-sized ink engravings set the tale somewhere between fantasy and history." |
