We listen to this trilogy on OverDrive Books from our local library. This free service allows us to download talking books (and ebooks) to our computer for three weeks. After that, they are re-absorbed into cyberspace.
Quote from Philip Pullman: "I have maintained a passionate interest in education, which leads me occasionally to make foolish and ill-considered remarks alleging that not everything is well in our schools. My main concern is that an over-emphasis on testing and league tables has led to a lack of time and freedom for a true, imaginative and humane engagement with literature." (P. Pulman's website)
