Summary

The classic recording of The Subtle Knife, read by Philip Pullman and a full cast of narrators.

‘She had asked: what is he? A friend or an enemy?
The alethiometer answered: he is a murderer.
When she saw the answer, she relaxed at once.’
Lyra finds herself in a shimmering, haunted otherworld - Cittàgazze, where soul-eating Spectres stalk the streets and wingbeats of distant angels sound against the sky.
But she is not without allies: 12-year-old Will Parry, fleeing for his life after taking another's, has also stumbled into this strange new realm.
On a perilous journey from world to world, Lyra and Will uncover a deadly secret: an object of extraordinary and devastating power.
And with every step, they move closer to an even greater threat - and the shattering truth of their own destiny.
The full cast of narrators includes: Philip Pullman, Joanna Wyatt, Rupert Degas, Alison Dowling, Douglas Blackwell, Jill Shilling, Stephen Thorne, Sean Barrett, Garrick Hagon, John O'Connor and Susan Sheridan.

Loved this dramatisation of the full book!
It brought the book alive in new ways, the characters feel so enveloping I was truly gutted when bad things happened to them and over the moon when they thrived!

So Exciting and Thrilling!

Loving my revisit of the Dark materials saga since I first read it as a young teenager. The BBC series reminded me of its rich tapestry and I was drawn back.
Loved it even more as I now appreciate the deeper implications, the religion, politics and intrigue way better than I did at first reading.
Masterful Mr Pullman.

As good as the first time.

Great book, loved it.
Slightly old fashioned voices.
Dreadful my music! It really spoiled the whole production.
I enjoyed that the author Philip Pullman was the narrator.
