As #TheRoseField is out, let's have a warm thought for Christine Baker, who enthusiastically introduced French readers to Lyra, & for Laurie Frost, author of The Elements of HDM & top blog who was always keen for top talks with us sraffies on web media. We'll read for them, too.

'Pullman decided to return to Lyra’s story because of where he’d left her back in 2000. (...) “What’s she going to do for the rest of her life? Learn Latin and French and play netball? I don’t think so. She needed another adventure.' nytimes.com/2025/10/26/boo… (⚠️Slight spoilers)

Wonderful to hear Philip Pullman talking at the Stratford Literary Festival - a great insight to The Rose Field and His Dark Materials. Have some notes to go through but for now enjoy these shots and check out Stratford Literary Festival’s Instagram stories for some quotes.

It’s a sad day when you hear that Jack Shepherd has passed away at age 85. Jack played the Master in the Golden Compass film among many other highlights to his career. Much love to his family and friends.
