The Catholic League’s website states that seeing the film – even if it is not as troubling as the trilogy – will cause children to want to read the novels and this would harm their faith. The Catholic League (agrees and has published a pamphlet about the book trilogy and sent it to all Catholic schools in the U.S. Some critics believe that Pullman’s fantasy epic is an expression of an atheist agenda. 1946) is a professed atheist: “Although I call myself an atheist I am a Church of England atheist, and a 1662 Book of Common Prayer atheist, because that’s the tradition I was brought up in and I cannot escape those early influences” (quoted in Killing the Imposter God: Phillip Pullman’s Spiritual Imagination in “His Dark Materials”, 2007, JosseyBass).

As author Pullman notes, he has borrowed from every book he has ever read to create this best-selling and controversial trilogy and these include the fantasy writings and mythic imagination of C.S. The Golden Compass is Book I of Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy Part II is The Subtle Knife (1997) and Part III The Amber Spyglass (2000.) Over 15 million copies of the books have been sold worldwide. Tolkien’s fantasy trilogy The Lord of the Rings, and it may have another hit trilogy on its hands, beginning with The Golden Compass.
