A story in the Arctic from the world of His Dark Materials and The Book of Dust by master storyteller, Philip Pullman.
Philip Pullman (Author)

Zimbabwe, Australia and Wales. He studied English at Exeter
College, Oxford.
His first children's book, Count Karlstein, was published in 1982.
To date, he has published thirty-three books, read by children and

trilogy. These books have been honoured by several prizes including
the Carnegie Medal, the Guardian Children's Book Prize, and (for
The Amber Spyglass) the Whitbread Book of the Year Award - the

Tom Duxbury (Illustrator)
Tom Duxbury is an illustrator from the moors of West Yorkshire. His
work is influenced by lino-printing, which he uses to depict
feeling, movement and nostalgia. He is inspired by the spirit of
nature and the narrative of a landscape. His work is represented by
Artists Partners Ltd.
[Serpentine] brings with it all the familiar delights of Pullman's
work: its effortless clarity, its intelligence, its ineffable mix
of coziness and darkness, innocence and experience.

handsome look and accessible feel . . . Serpentine offers
aficionados a poignant return to Lyra and Pan.
