Philip Pullman said that at the centre of The Book of Dust is "the struggle between a despotic and totalitarian organisation [the Magisterium], which wants to stifle speculation and inquiry, and those who believe thought and speech should be free”
The first book of the original trilogy, Northern Lights, was adapted for a 2007 film, The Golden Compass, starring Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig and Dakota Blue Richards.
In the new trilogy, Pullman will return to the story of brave Oxford girl Lyra Belacqua and will begin when the heroine is a baby and continue to when she is 20 years old.
