A stunning new edition of this prequel episode from Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials universe that tells how aeronaut Lee Scoresby and the armored bear Iorek Byrnison first met. Now with full-color illustrations from Chris Wormell. After winning his hot-air balloon in a poker game, Lee Scoresby and his d mon, Hester, find themselves floating north. On landing, it's not long before Scoresby is embroiled in a deadly plot involving an oil magnate, a corrupt mayoral candidate, and Lee's longtime nemesis--a hired killer. Lee's been in tight spots before, but getting out of this mess will require some sharp shooting and the help of an unlikely new ally--the massive, surly, armored bear Iorek Byrnison. Newly illustrated in full color by renowned print-maker Chris Wormell, this edition is a wonderfully gift-worthy production.

Lee and his daemon, Hester, find themselves the target of political factions trying to take over the running (and oil) of the town. And also resident in the town are huge arctic bears, ignored and patronised by the people and treated like second-class citizens. When Lee and Iorek first meet, they cement a friendship that will continue throughout their lives, as the tensions and pressure in town lead to a deadly conclusion . . .Featuring two of Philip Pullman's best-loved characters, this is an adventure-filled short story that builds on the world of His Dark Materials and The Book of Dust.

Ny udgave. Den nysgerrige og handlekraftige Lyra lever et ubekymret liv på Jordan-Kollegiet i Oxford. Hver dag finder hun og hendes daimon, Pantalaimon, på vilde og eventyrlige lege. Men da hendes frygtindgydende onkel Lord Asriel pludselig dukker op, bliver hun viklet ind i et indviklet drama fuldt af uforklarlige mysterier, og med ét står hun centrum af en storslået kamp mellem Snappere, forsvundne børn, hekseklaner og panserbjørne. Inden hun begiver sig ud på en farefuld færd mod det kolde fjerne Nord, er Lyra helt uvidende om den chokerende virkelighed: at hun alene er skæbnebestemt til at vinde, eller tabe, den størst tænkelige krig. Det gyldne kompas udkommer i en ny, smuk udgave som en del af børnebogsserien Gyldendals udødelige.
