Published by Doubleday in 2005 this fine First Edition / First Printing is in wonderful condition. Voted for in a 2004 BBC poll,  Philip Pullman was named the eleventh most influential person in British Culture.  Here is another of the best selling English author’s wonderful children’s adventure books signed ( without dedication ) by the recently Knighted man himself. The book is in extremely good condition and very rare as almost all the original books went to libraries. Purchased by me in 2011 from a renowned UK bookseller,  the book has been lovingly stored  out of the light in order to preserve its condition.
