Just Finished Reading: Lyra's Oxford By Philip Pullman


I think I've told everyone I've come into contact with in the last two weeks that the His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman is amazing.  I decided to read the off-shoot Lyra's Oxford today.  It's charming in a children's literature kind of way.  There's no deeper level that engages a higher level of thought.  

Pullman's additions:  The postcard, pull out map, random book page, and program are lovely touches though.  I love his commentary about random objects.  How, they lose their meanings when they're separated from their intent.

Well, that's short like the book (a slight 50 pages).
Love,
Tiff
