In The Subtle Knife, the story moves between our own world, the world of the first novel, and a third world containing the city of Cittàgazze. The Authority himself dies of his own frailty when Will and Lyra free him from the crystal prison wherein Metatron had trapped him, able to do so because an attack by cliff-ghasts kills or drives away the prison's protectors. Will, who recently killed a man to protect his ailing mother, has stumbled into Cittàgazze in an effort to locate his long-lost father.

All the books are TRUE FIRST EDITIONS with the ORIGINAL First Issue dustjackets with NO chips or tears. It definitely has its moments, but any positive thoughts I had about the series evaporated in a puff of smoke after experiencing the saccharine, nauseating conclusion, which nearly had me blowing chunks on this book's pages. There, she comes to understand the true nature of Dust, which is both created by and nourishes life that has become self-aware. The first book in the series, The Golden Compass , won the Carnegie Medal for Children’s Fiction in 1995.

In the same year the book was voted in an online poll as the top Carnegie Medal winner in the award 70-year history.

Nice and clean pages but with two small marks and slightly yellow on the outer edges, small mark and a couple of creases on the edges of the pages. Lyra's Oxford is a short book by Philip Pullman depicting an episode involving the heroine of His Dark Materials, Pullman's best-selling trilogy.

Her snow-goose dæmon Kaisa, like all witches' dæmons, can travel much farther apart from her than the dæmons of humans, without feeling the pain of separation.
