↓ Links below ↓ This is an in-depth review of the beautiful illustrated edition of The Golden Compass/Northern Lights by Philip Pullman and Chris Wormell. I think it's stunning and well worth seeking out (released Nov 2020 in the UK and June 2021 in the US).

For those of you wondering about the changes/censoring in the American editions of later books that I mentioned in the video, here is an example:
UK Edition - The Amber Spyglass, Chapter 33
As Mary said that, Lyra felt something strange happen to her body. She felt a stirring at the roots of her hair: she found herself breathing faster. She had never been on a roller-coaster, or anything like one, but if she had, she would have recognised the sensations in her breast: they were exciting and frightening at the same time, and she had not the slightest idea why. The sensation continued, and deepened, and changed, as more parts of her body found themselves affected too. She felt as if she had been handed the key to a great house she hadn't known was there, a house that was somehow inside her, and as she turned the key, deep in the darkness of the building she felt other doors opening too, and lights coming on. She sat trembling, hugging her knees, hardly daring to breathe...
