PHILIP PULLMAN is one of the most acclaimed writers working today.
He is best known for the His Dark Materials trilogy, which has been
named one of the top 100 books of all time by Newsweek and one of
the all-time greatest novels by Entertainment Weekly.
The Book of Dust, Pullman's eagerly anticipated return to the world
of His Dark Materials, will also be a book in three parts. It began
with La Belle Sauvage and continues with The Secret
Commonwealth.
Pullman was knighted for his services to literature in the 2019 New
Year Honours. He lives in Oxford, England.
Tom Duxbury grew up in Yorkshire and studied illustration at the
University of Brighton.
"This elegant edition, with black-and-white linocut illustrations
by Tom Duxbury, marks the print debut of Philip Pullman's gothic
novella, which is about "the girl who will become the dangerous
Mrs. Coulter" in His Dark Materials." —New York Times
"Readers will be left with a renewed appreciation for one of our
most sublime storytellers." —Wall Street Journal
"The slow burn from curious mystery, to the increasingly darker and
ultimately horrific ending, is the classic stuff of late night
gothic. With Tom Duxbury’s lovely spare illustrations on
nearly every page, The Collectors is a gorgeous visit to a
much-loved literary landscape. It’s a quick read, but one to be
savored, and certainly a treat worth indulging." —Locus
