OXFORD, England (AP) — Fans of Philip Pullman have been waiting almost five years for the final instalment in the author’s sextet of books about his intrepid heroine Lyra and her adventures in multiple worlds.
“I haven’t got a title yet,” Pullman told The Associated Press in his home city of Oxford, where he was honored Thursday with the Bodley Medal.
I haven’t found the right title yet — but I will.”The medal, awarded by Oxford University’s 400-year-old Bodleian Libraries, honors contributions to literature, media or science.
Pullman says the next book will be his final foray into Lyra’s world -– though he also said that after the first trilogy, only to be tempted back.
“There are other things I want to do,” including a book about words and images and how they work together on the imagination.
