Would you really want people to see your daemon?
Lord Asriel—good, evil, or just grouchy?

His Dark Materials took you on a roller coaster ride through parallel universes, into heaven and hell, from our world to the strange villages of the mulefa. Buckle your seatbelts, because the ride continues! In The World of the Golden Compass we explore the most fascinating aspects of the HDM trilogy, from the mysterious attraction of the ultimate power couple (Lord Asriel and Mrs. Coulter, of course) to why Iorek is so darn cool, from the secret lives of angels to how to find your very own daemon (clue: it's hidden somewhere in your brain).
