Philip Pullman: La Belle Sauvage

from Southbank Centre

Find out why Philip Pullman has returned to the realm of his trilogy, His Dark Materials. In this exclusive London launch of the highly anticipated La Belle Sauvage: The Book of Dust Volume One, Pullman reveals why he has come back to much-loved character Lyra Belacqua’s world 22 years after the first book. "I do actually believe in ghosts, fairies, hobgoblins; nature's spirits of every kind, because they help me write stories." PHILIP PULLMAN Pullman reflects on his writing process, what drew him back to Lyra’s world more than two decades after Northern Lights was first published, and why the struggle for freedom of expression against despotic rulers that has been at the heart of his books, is more pressing now than ever.
