8 cassettes - 8hrs 55mins - ISBN - 0 7540 7113 8

Will is twelve years old and has just killed a man. On the run, he steps through a window into another world, and finds a strange, savage little girl called Lyra. Both children have a mission, and they decide to help each other. But the world of Cittagazze is a strange and unsettling place, where deadly soul-eating spectres roam. And in the mysterious Torre degli Angeli lurks Cittagazze's most important secret - an object which people from many worlds would kill to possess.

The Amber Spyglass

Lyra and Will, the two ordinary children whose extraordinary adventures began in The Golden Compass and The Subtle Knife, are in unspeakable danger. With help from Iorek Byrnison the armored bear and two tiny Gallivespian spies, they must journey to a dank and gray-lit world where no living soul has ever gone.

All the while, Dr. Mary Malone builds a magnificent amber spyglass. An assassin hunts her down. And Lord Asriel, with troops of shining angels, fights his mighty rebellion, a battle of strange allies- and shocking sacrifice.

As war rages and Dust drains from the sky, the fate of the living- and the dead- finally comes to depend on two children and the simple truth of one simple story, bringing Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials to an astonishing conclusion.
