Two short stories set in Philip Pullman’s “His Dark Materials” world.

===================
The Collectors

Written by: Philip Pullman, 2014
Narrated by: Bill Nighy
Series: His Dark Materials
Publisher: Audible Studios, 2014
Length: 32 mins

On a dark winter’s night in 1970, Horley and Grinstead huddle for warmth in the Senior Common Room of a college in Oxford. Conversation turns to the two impressive works of art that Horley has recently added to his collection. What the two men don’t know is that these pieces are connected in mysterious and improbable ways; and they are about to be caught in the cross-fire of a story which has travelled time and worlds.

Philip Pullman is one of the most well-loved and admired British authors of the last few decades. He has written numerous novels for both adults and children, most notably the award-winning His Dark Materials trilogy. The Collectors, written exclusively for Audible, serves as a great introduction to this series, while revealing a little something extra to fans of Lyra and her world.

Lyra’s Oxford

Written by: Philip Pullman, 2003
Narrated by: Philip Pullman, Full Cast
Series: His Dark Materials
Audio: Random House Audiobooks, 2003
Length: 47 mins

Lyra’s Oxford opens two years after the conclusion of Philip Pullman The Amber Spyglass in the comfort and familiarity of Jordan College, where Lyra and her daemon, Pantalaimon, sit on the sun-drenched roof looking out over all of Oxford. But their peace is shattered when a strange bird – a witch’s daemon, on its own – tumbles out of the sky, in search of a healing elixer to cure his witch of a strange new disease. Lyra and Pan decided to help – witches are friends, of course – but the closer their winding walk leads them towards the infamous Oxford alchemist.
