Review "This elegant edition, with black-and-white linocut illustrations by Tom Duxbury, marks the print debut of Philip Pullmans gothic novella, which is about "the girl who will become the dangerous Mrs. Coulter" in His Dark Materials." —New York Times"Readers will be left with a renewed appreciation for one of our most sublime storytellers." —Wall Street Journal"The slow burn from curious mystery, to the increasingly darker and ultimately horrific ending, is the classic stuff of late night gothic. With Tom Duxburys lovely spare illustrations on nearly every page, The Collectors is a gorgeous visit to a much-loved literary landscape. Its a quick read, but one to be savored, and certainly a treat worth indulging." —Locus Details ISBN0593378342 Author Tom Duxbury Pages 80 Series His Dark Materials Language English Year 2022 Illustrator Tom Duxbury ISBN-10 0593378342 ISBN-13 9780593378342 Format Hardcover Publication Date 2022-09-20 Imprint Knopf Books for Young Readers Audience Age 10 Publisher Random House USA Inc Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States AU Release Date 2022-09-20 NZ Release Date 2022-09-20 US Release Date 2022-09-20 UK Release Date 2022-09-20 DEWEY FIC Audience Children / Juvenile We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
