PHILIP PULLMAN is one of the most acclaimed writers working today. He is best known for the His Dark Materials trilogy, which has been named one of the top 100 novels of all time by Newsweek and one of the all-time greatest novels by Entertainment Weekly. He has also won many distinguished prizes, including the Carnegie Medal for The Golden Compass (and the reader-voted “Carnegie of Carnegies” for the best children’s book of the past seventy years); the Whitbread (now Costa) Award; Parents’ Choice Gold Awards; and the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award, in honor of his body of work. Pullman was knighted for services to literature in the New Years’ Honors in 2019.
“A worthy conclusion.” —Dan Kois, The New York Times Book Review “The book promises many of what our reviewer called ‘the familiar delights of Pullman’s work: its effortless clarity, its intelligence, its ineffable mix of coziness and darkness, innocence and experience.’” —The New York Times Book Review (27 Books Coming in October) “The Rose Field will cap the adventures of Lyra Silvertongue, the flinty, brilliant heroine who makes the mother of dragons look meek.” —Literary Hub “Lyra is one of the most memorable and beloved heroines in YA fiction and fantasy in general.” —GameSpot “As ever, Philip Pullman invites us to increase our capacity for wonder even as we recoil from the world’s torments. The Rose Field is rich, radiant and rare.” —BookPage “Assured prose considers the interplay between logic and imagination as well as community and exploitation, injecting further ideological complexity into the familiar world first introduced in The Golden Compass.” —Booklist “Richly endowed with big ideas and larger-than-life characters."" —Kirkus Reviews
