ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE NORTH ILLUSTRATED EDITI...

Lyra is studying at Oxford University  she comes across the story of Lee Scoresby and Iorek
Byrnisson's first meeting  many years ago  along with much evidence of the adventure that
brought them together . . . When a young Texan balloonist  Lee Scoresby  comes down to earth in
the harbour of an Arctic town in the North  little does he realise that he is about to be
embroiled in an out-and-out political brawl. 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.
