Books Included in This Collection:
Lyra's Oxford (His Dark Materials)
Two years after the events of The Amber Spyglass, Lyra and her daemon Pantalaimon perch on the roof of Jordan College, watching Oxford’s streets below. A sudden flock of enraged starlings delivers a cryptic message about a witch’s daemon and a spreading sickness, threatening Lyra’s peace and prompting a dangerous inquiry into who can be trusted. This short, atmospheric tale examines Lyra’s courage and the moral complexities she will face as her world widens beyond child’s play into adult decisions.

Once Upon a Time in the North (His Dark Materials)
While Lyra pursues studies at Oxford University, the story of Lee Scoresby and Iorek Byrnisson’s first meeting unfolds through a tale of ambition, loyalty, and political intrigue. A young Texan balloonist lands in an Arctic harbor and becomes entangled in a fierce struggle for power. Pullman’s blend of wonder and political edge shines here, offering another doorway into the larger universe and enriching the reader’s sense of cause and consequence across generations.

The Secret Commonwealth: The Book of Dust Volume Two (Book of Dust 2)
Lyra, now studying at St Sophia’s College in Oxford, faces tensions between her curiosity and the loyalties that once defined her. Pan misses the impulsiveness of youth, while a violent act disrupts the quiet of a familiar night and pulls them far from home into factions hidden within their world. This instalment deepens the moral and metaphysical questions at the heart of Pullman’s saga, inviting readers to weigh belief, power, and identity in a high-stakes fantasy setting.

La Belle Sauvage: The Book of Dust Volume One (Book of Dust 1)
Malcolm Polstead’s Oxford life is comfortable and routine until a fateful encounter entwines him with a baby named Lyra Belacqua. As rain and danger close in, Malcolm embarks on a perilous journey that will forever alter both his future and Lyra’s.
