A story in the Arctic from the world of His Dark Materials and The Book of Dust by master storyteller, Philip Pullman and read by Olivia Colman.
'Lyra Silvertongue, you're very welcome . . . Yes, I know your new name. Serafina Pekkala told me everything about your exploits'
Lyra and her daemon Pantalaimon have left the events of His Dark Materials far behind.
In this snapshot of their forever-changed lives they return to the North to visit an old friend,
where we will learn that things are not exactly as they seem . . .
The perfect re-entry for fans of His Dark Materials and a wonderful companion to The Book of Dust,
Serpentine is a brand-new special read for Pullman fans old and new.
'It's a stunning achievement, the universe Pullman has created and continues to build on'
New York Times
'Pullman is an easeful storyteller and an intricate and inventive world-builder, and everything he has to write is worth reading'

      Actress Olivia Colman is a new voice to the His Dark Materials series, and she slips easily into Lyra's boots. Set after the events of THE AMBER SPYGLASS, this short story, originally written 16 years ago for a charity auction, serves as an effective bridge between that book and the second in Pullman's new Book of Dust trilogy, THE SECRET COMMONWEALTH. Lyra and her daemon, Pantalaimon, meet with the consul of the witches in Trollesund--Lyra has questions about the nature of the human/daemon bond. Colman captures Lyra and Pan's rapid-fire, affectionate bickering flawlessly. SERPENTINE will mean most to fans of the series, another puzzle piece that helps to complete the full picture of this fantastic world. J.M.D. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
