His Dark Materials; 1. Northern Lights [Golden Compass] 2. The Subtle Knife 3. The Amber Spyglass by PULLMAN, Philip (born 1946)

London: Scholastic Press, 1995-2000. ALL FIRST EDITIONS. 3 volumes, octavos. Publisher's cloth in original pictorial dust-jackets. The set housed in a custom felt lined slipcase. Some water marking to the cloth which had transferred with some colour to the reverse of the slightly edge worn dust-jacket of the first volume. The other two volumes are fine. Very good. Lyra's quest weaves fantasy, horror and the play of ideas into a truly great contemporary children's book. 'Northern Lights' was listed in The Observer's All-Time 100 Best Novels [2003], The Times' NovelList Top 60 Poll [2013] and was selected for World Book Night (2011). Amber Spyglass won the Whitbread Prize, also shortlisted for Booker Prize.
