Description for The Collectors: A short story from the world of His Dark Materials and the Book of Dust
Hardback. ***Previously published by Audible in audio book only and read by Bill Nighy, and later in ebook, this is the first time THE COLLECTORS will be made available in physical format. The ghostly tale offers an image of the girl who will become the dangerous Mrs Coulter, the villain of Pullman’s much-loved HIS DARK MATERIALS sequence. THE COLLECTORS is the perfect treat for Pullman fans, and a dark and captivating entry point for new readers of the worlds of HIS DARK MATERIALS and THE BOOK OF DUST. On a dark night in a college in Oxford, two men talk by the fire. Their conversation turns to two unusual pieces of art that one of them has recently added to his collection. But these pieces – a painting of a striking young woman and a bronze sculpture of a fearsome-looking monkey – are connected in mysterious and improbable ways, and these art collectors are about to be caught up in a story which has travelled time and worlds.
