His Dark Materials new trilogy announced by Philip Pullman
The first book in the new trilogy comes 17 years after the last book in the series, The Amber Spyglass.
Pullman has revealed the new sets of novels are neither prequels or sequels, but “equels” set around the same time.
Speaking with BBC Radio 4, he said: “It's an equel.
“It's a different story which begins roughly 10 years before His Dark Materials and ends roughly 10 years after."
