Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.  

A story in the Arctic from the world of His Dark Materials and The Book of Dust by master storyteller Philip Pullman, read by Olivia Colman.  

‘Lyra Silvertongue, you’re very welcome.... Yes, I know your new name. Serafina Pekkala told me everything about your exploits.’

Lyra and her daemon Pantalaimon have left the events of His Dark Materials far behind.  

In this snapshot of their forever-changed lives they return to the North to visit an old friend, where we will learn that things are not exactly as they seem.... 

The perfect re-entry for fans of His Dark Materials and a wonderful companion to The Book of Dust, Serpentine is a brand-new special listen for Pullman fans old and new.

A very short listen!

Don’t get caught out and waste a credit. This recording is only 23 minutes long!
