About this listen

 The award-winning His Dark Materials trilogy is a breathtaking epic adventure spanning a multitude of worlds. Northern Lights, the opening installment, sees Lyra and her shape-changing daemon embark on a dangerous quest.

In Oxford, Lyra learns that children are being kidnapped by the mysterious Gobblers. When her friend Roger vanishes she determines to find him, and is given a powerful alethiometer which can reveal the truth in all things. After discovering that the adults around her are not what they seem, Lyra and Pantalaimon join forces with a band of gyptians. Travelling north they encounter witch-queens and armoured bears, before being captured and taken to Bolvanger, where children are being used in terrible and secret experiments.

Gripping, full of suspense and often funny, this Northern Lights BBC Radio 4 dramatization has an all-star cast including Terence Stamp, Emma Fielding, Bill Paterson, Kenneth Cranham, and Ray Fearon.

I have never listened to a dramatisation of an audiobook before, and it was awesome! Doors creak, pillows puff, gravel crunches and the wind whistles. Every noise adds to the story, making it that much better. Northern Lights is one of my favourite books and I urge everyone give this version a listen.

Everyone should listen to this!

I thought this was going to be more of an audiobook read than a dramatization so that was confusing to start off with. But it was good and I enjoyed it.
