Bloomsbury's Big Bad Read vote to find the ultimate children's literary baddy has finished. Mrs Coulter came third, with Lord Voldemort ending top. See the results. Meanwhile, Philip Pullman made the Independent's The Good List of fifty men and women who make our world a better place. “Pullman wants children to realise they are the inheritors of philosophical, artistic, scientific and literary riches. So potent is the vision of this campaigning atheist that even the Archbishop of Canterbury wants his novels taught as part of religious education in schools.” The list in full is on the BBC (thanks JV).

Can we have a link to the Independent's thing?
And YAY FOR MARISA AND SAURON!!!
Wow… that's pretty damn amazing.
I bet PEMWISH is seething.
Independent thing is here: http://news.independent.co.uk/people/profiles/article1223340.ece
I didn't bother linking it since it's registration-only.
Hell yeah. :tongue: Good man, that Pullman!
Thanks, Will.
And yeah, that Philip Pullman guy, he's pretty awesome. Who is he anyways? 😉
Here is the Good People List in full.

I think Pullman absolutely deserves to be on that list. He should even be knighted. And that's good news that Mrs. Coulter got so far up the list too.
The villain's list for Mrs. Coulter that is. :laughing:
"Thanks JV"
You're very welcome. Happy to help. 😉
