The Golden Compass will arrive in cinemas this year with high expectations placed on it. It is the first in a series of adaptations of Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy which has enjoyed much-deserved success, the final instalment even winning the Whitbread Award in 2001, the first children’s novel to do so. The books are beautifully written, intelligent pieces of work that have pushed the category of “young adult” novels into fresh intellectual territory.
