Philip Pullman is one of the most highly acclaimed children's
authors of the decade. He has been on the shortlist of just about
every major children's book award in the last few years, and has
won the Smarties Prize (Gold Award, 9-11 age category) for THE
FIREWORK-MAKER'S DAUGHTER and the prestigious Carnegie Medal for
NORTHERN LIGHTS. He was the first children's author ever to win the
overall Whitbread Prize for THE AMBER SPYGLASS.
He lives in Oxford.

work of art that is enchanting for a child but equally appealing to
an adult
