About this listen
The definitive production of Northern Lights, narrated by Ruth Wilson, star of the major BBC series His Dark Materials.
“Without this child, we shall all die.”
Lyra Belacqua and her animal daemon live half-wild and carefree among scholars of Jordan College, Oxford.
The destiny that awaits her will take her to the frozen lands of the Arctic, where witch-clans reign and ice-bears fight.
Her extraordinary journey will have immeasurable consequences far beyond her own world…
First published in 1995, and acclaimed as a modern masterpiece, this first book in the series won the UK's top awards for children's literature, including the Carnegie Medal.
Ruth Wilson is an award-winning actress, best known for her roles in His Dark Materials, Luther, Mrs Wilson and The Affair. She won universal acclaim, and the BAFTA Cymru Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of Mrs Coulter in the BBC adaptation of His Dark Materials.
Also available in His Dark Materials, read by Ruth Wilson.

Beyond Brilliant!
There is fantasy and there is fantasy. Sometimes it is thought-provoking, sometimes amusing, and sometimes just silly. This book by Philip Pullman is so original it takes the breath away.
I was tempted by the audiobook version narrated by Pullman, but Ruth Wilson is such a consummate actor, and her wonderful contralto voice is just transporting. I cannot recommend this version too highly, and await with impatience the next two books..

Ruth does an excellent job
I've always wanted to read/listen to these again. The previous versions didn't work for me, but I really like Ruth Wilson's version and it's been great to revisit a book I read loads of times growing up.

Gripping throughout, appeals to all ages
Genuinely fantastic book, that translates brilliantly to an audiobook. Ruth's reading pulls you in, and the story keeps your listening to chapter after chapter with no break.
