The Golden Compass

TIMED FOR THE major motion picture release of The Golden Compass from New Line Cinema on December 7, 2007, here are three paperback editions, each featuring a movie tie-in cover and an 8-page insert of photos from the movie. The $150 million dollar film stars Nicole Kidman as Mrs. Coulter, Daniel Craig as Lord Asriel, Sam Elliott as Lee Scoresby, and newcomer Dakota Blue Richards as Lyra Belacqua. Philip Pullman’s beloved classic tells the story of young Lyra Belacqua, content to run wild among the scholars in Jordan College with her daemon familiar always by her side. But the moment she hears hushed talk of Dust, an extraordinary particle, she’s drawn to the heart of a terrible struggle – a struggle born of Gobblers and stolen children, witch clans and armored bears.
