The His Dark Materials trilogy is made up of three very segmented novels. Book one, known either as The Golden Compass or The Northern Lights, depending on which side of the pond you're on, exists utterly in Lyra's world. It's a mirror universe where one small change in human physiology has radically altered the course of history.

Book two, The Subtle Knife, begins here on Earth, introducing Will Parry, revealing that his father, John, is already travelling between universes. The same explorer is known to Lyra as Stanislaus Grumman. It takes several chapters before Will travels to a mirror universe, meeting up with Lyra, who escaped her world at the end of the first book, in Cittàgazze.

Mrs. Coulter: "Pragmatism: Such an underrated quality."
