The Book of Dust is an upcoming novel by Philip Pullman. It will be a companion novel to the His Dark Materials trilogy, and will feature Lyra Belacqua as a main character. Initially, Pullman said that the story will take place two years after the events of Lyra's Oxford and will tie into that book, with Lyra being "about sixteen." He has since said "it might be in two volumes and I think one might take place in the time before His Dark Materials and the other might take place afterwards." The book will also be "about Dust," and will address the lack of positive portrayals of religion in the His Dark Materials books, although it will not be a continuation of the trilogy.

Famous quotes containing the word book:
“And you could have a new automobile
Ping pong set and garage, but the thief
Stole everything like a miracle.
In his book there was a picture of treason only
And in the garden, cries and colors.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
