Penguin presents the audio download edition of La Belle Sauvage by Philip Pullman, read by Michael Sheen.

Eleven-year-old Malcolm Polstead and his dæmon, Asta, live with his parents at the Trout Inn near Oxford. Across the River Thames (which Malcolm navigates often using his beloved canoe, a boat by the name of La Belle Sauvage) is the Godstow Priory where the nuns live. Malcolm learns they have a guest with them; a baby by the name of Lyra Belacqua....

Reseñas de la Crítica

"As a reader and a fan, I was hugely excited on hearing that Phillip was returning to the story of Lyra and Dust and challenging the Authority. And, as an actor, it was a true privilege to be asked to record La Belle Sauvage, the first book of this new work." (Michael Sheen)

"The best piece of narration I've ever heard." (The Bookseller)

"Michael Sheen's narration of Philip Pullman's new novel is better than an army of voice actors. His voice is impressive, from the crisp, definitive consonants of its higher registers to the rumbly bass notes Sheen summons when some menace enters the scene, to the vast, buttery expanse of his middle range." ( Slate)

Great story- thoroughly enjoyed it

The story was engaging and the narration brought it to life. Looking forward to listening to the next book.

Wonderfully Written

Despite not a great deal happening technically, this is a wonderful book. Pullman is a masterful wordsmith & Sheen blows the best audio actors out of the water.

That wasn't a pun. I SWEAR ! ! !

I just wish I'd remembered more from His Dark Materials but it's been so long.

Great narration. Engaging story.

Smooth voice made it easy to listen to, good character voices with lively action sequences.

Amazing

Truly amazing book. Pullman is an incredible writer. His stories flow and there is not a dull moment. Like his other books, this one as well, is a *must hear*.
The reading performance was really beautiful and pleasant to listen to.

gripping chase that was well performed by narrato

narrator was strong and played his part wellmaki ng
the chase as intense as writer foretold

Wonderful writing coupled with stellar narration

I loved this book on the page. Michael Sheen's narration added vividly to the excitement and emotional depth of the text. Truly memorable.

Nostalgia rekindled.

Loved it instantly. What a way to rekindle a live affair with a series that I met so long ago. ❤

the best narrator ever

I've never heard such a talented narrator.
Through his voice and tone ant intonation one can see the characters: it is so great!!

A Sound For Sore Ears

Superbly pacey story. The interweaving of fantasy within fantasy is intriguing and beautiful. Philip Pullman has done it again. The complexity of Malcolm and Alice is brilliantly drawn, Pullman never patronises his young readers. The performance is 5 star too.

Brilliant story, moving narration

I loved La Belle Sauvage when I read it, but Michael Sheen's Reading took it to a new level.

Quite simply, the best reading I’ve ever had the pleasure of hearing.

I’m looking forward eagerly to the next in the series, both to find out how the story continues, and to hear Michael Sheen's narration.
