Lyra & Pan

(2004)

Philip Pullman's series His Dark Materials is one of the few fantasy stories that really impressed me. This is how I see the heroine of the books, Lyra Belacqua, and her dæmon Pantalaimon in ermine form. She's holding the golden alethiometer, the symbol reader which answers her all questions she poses. The choice of colour of her clothes might seem a little odd, but that's how I imagine a person who picks up clothes from different worlds to look like. Read the books and you'll understand what I mean. *bg* For those who are interested: the quotation at the top of this picture stems from book three of the trilogy, The Amber Spyglass.
