Lyra and Will find themselves facing great perils. But
there are old friends that come to their aid, not least Iorek
Byrnison, the armoured bear, and the scientist, Dr Mary Malone.
There are new allies: the Galvespians, hand-high dragonfly
riders with poison spurs, and the mulefa, strange wheeled
creatures with the power to see Dust. And there are new dangers,
including a journey to the worst world of all - a journey
that exerts a terrible cost on both children...
This
twelve CD collection of Philip Pullman's The Amber Spyglass
is an unabridged audio presentation of the final book in the
His Dark Materials trilogy. This collection expands
the BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation, which is also available
separately as a 2-disc
abridged collection,
by including additional narration that fleshes out the story
fully, as in the original book.
The
Amber Spyglass sees Lyra Silvertongue and Will Parry facing
great perils. They have become separated from each other,
and their friends. Can they complete their mysterious quest
before it is too late?
The
great armoured bear lorek Byrnison reappears, as does Dr Mary
Malone, creator of the amber spyglass. Then there are the
tiny dragonfly-riding Gallivespians, and the wheel-borne Mulefa
with their ability to see the mysterious substance Dust.
As
childhood slips away from them, Lyra and Will face new dangers
- including the daemon-destroying Spectres and a journey into
the world of the dead. The
great rebellion against the dark powers that hold Lyra's world
in thrall is nearing its climax
The
Amber Spyglass has an all-star cast including Terence
Stamp, Ray Fearon, Emma Fielding and Philip Madoc, with a
linking narration by the author. While the 2-disc collection
is incredibly well realised (and a must for all fans of the
trilogy), this unabridged collection is even more engaging.
The hours will fly by, and once you've listened to it once
you'll be itching to buy the other two further collections.
While
£60 may seem a lot to spend (and if you are planning
on buying all three unabridged tales the full collection will
set you back a tidy £146) it does represent thirteen
hours of quality entertainment which vividly brings to life
Pullman's story. Fans of the book will find that this is a
must buy.
