✦ Synopsis

'I think of him all the time, and he thinks of me not at all...' This is the story of two brothers. One is impassioned and one reserved. One is destined to go down in history and the other to be forgotten. In Philip Pullman's hands, this sacred tale is reborn as one of the most enchanting, thrilling and visionary stories of recent years.

Review

'A supreme storyteller . . . Pullman has done the story a service by reminding us of its extraordinary power to provoke and disturb.' --Sally Vickers, The Telegraph

'Pullman's retelling of the central story in western civilisation provides a brilliant new interpretation that is also a thought-provoking reflection on the process of how stories come into existence and accrue their meanings.' --Nick Rennison, Sunday Times

Provokingly bold --Independent

'It is a small gem or, given its explosive story and its exquisite artistry, a hand grenade made by Faberg'é.' --Brian Appleyard, The Sunday Times

'Beautifully written, humane, memorable and resonant.'
--Philip Hensher
