A Short Story

What is there to say except this is a short story... and a good one. I found myself struggling to fit this into Lyra's world... but then again it may have been another Earth all together.

Maybe I'm dumb but I don't get the point of some of these little books. I was promised a glimpse inot the girl who would become Mrs. Coulter and I do not feel like I got that.

So lovely to get a tiny glimpse into Mrs Coulter’s past and learn about how objects pass between worlds :) Also I loved the mystery element - how I wish this was longer!

Delightfully creepy little spooky story very possibly vaguely connected to the world of His Dark Materials and Marisa Coulter. A quick read, loved the illustrations.
