In the epic trilogy, comprised of the books The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass, Pullman unlocks the door to a parallel world where strange creatures live side by side with humans, and humans share souls with animals.

The books center on precocious young protagonists whose adventures lead them into battle against the ultimate evil with the fate of the universe in their hands. Pullman is the first children's author to ever win the UK's prestigious Whitbread Book of the Year prize.

I'm part dreading the movie, since people tend to wreck books when they make them into movies, but I still have hope that it will be good.
