The Golden Compass
About three decades after L’Engel published her story about a girl who goes on a miraculous quest to find her scientist father, Philip Pullman published The Golden Compass, a story about...a girl who goes on a miraculous quest to find her scientist father. Of course, the stories are extremely different in many ways, not the least being that Pullman’s version is often considered to be much more critical of religion.
However, that pretty much went over our heads the first time we read about Lyra Belacqua’s fantastical journey to the Arctic in the first book of the His Dark Materials trilogy. We also blame this book for giving us a lifelong desire to have a dæmon, aka a talking animal that is also the physical embodiment of your soul...and for always looking for more fantasy books like His Dark Materials.
