His Dark Materials Guía y cronología
Lyra's search for answers takes her beyond an Oxford where people's souls walk beside them as daemons. Philip Pullman's stories bring children into conflicts over Dust, authority and the freedom to question. The original trilogy and The Book of Dust share a literary world, with film and television offering their own adaptations.

The Golden Compass card in this catalogue is the film. The opening novel is listed as Northern Lights; a shared alternate title does not make them two different novels.
Overview & recommendation
Lyra's questions are a good way into Pullman's world because she begins without the answers that adults are trying to control. The original trilogy lets its ideas unfold through what she and her companions discover.
The Book of Dust returns to that world at other points in Lyra's life. Screen adaptations are another choice of telling, not episodes to insert between the original novels.
Begin with the original trilogy in publication order. Then read La Belle Sauvage, The Secret Commonwealth and The Rose Field as The Book of Dust's own sequence. Its earlier opening does not require moving it ahead of your first meeting with Lyra.
Pullman's Books and Their Screen Versions A shared literary world and separate adaptations
The book branch combines the original trilogy with The Book of Dust. The screen group contains a film and a television adaptation: the series starts its own telling rather than continuing after the film's ending.
Books (6 entries)
The original His Dark Materials trilogy and The Book of Dust, whose sequence looks both before and beyond Lyra's first journey.
Screen Adaptations (4 entries)
The Golden Compass film and the separate television retelling, grouped as screen adaptations rather than one continuing version.
An Original-Trilogy Reading Route 10 entries
For a first reading, select Books and Release order to keep the original trilogy ahead of The Book of Dust. The story-order route starts with La Belle Sauvage. For television, begin with Season 1 rather than replacing it with the film.
