Clockwork by Philip Pullman

Clockwork by Philip Pullman

A tormented apprentice clock-maker--and a deadly knight in armour. A mechanical prince--and the sinister Dr. Kalmenius, who some say is the devil....

Wind up these characters, fit them into a story on a cold winter's evening and suddenly life and the story begin to merge--almost like clockwork....

PHILIP PULLMAN is one of today's most well-known authors. He is most known for the His Dark Materials trilogy, which was rated one of Newsweek's top 100 books of all time and one of Entertainment Weekly's all-time greatest novels. In the 2019 New Year's Honours, Pullman was knighted for his contributions to literature. Pullman's highly awaited return to the universe of His Dark Materials, The Book of Dust, will be a three-part novel. The Hidden Commonwealth continues the story that began with La Belle Sauvage.
