In this prequel episode from Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials universe, Lee Scoresby—Texan aeronaut and future friend to Lyra Belacqua—is just 24 years old, and he's recently won his hot-air balloon in a poker game. He finds himself floating North to the windswept Arctic island of Novy Odense, where he and his hare daemon Hester are quickly tangled in a deadly plot involving an oil magnate, a corrupt mayoral candidate, and Lee's longtime nemesis from the Dakota Country, a hired killer with at least twenty murders to his name.

Editorial reviews
Robin Sinclair, five years old, is travelling through interstellar space with her family. She has lost her doll. As with The Twilight Zone, the books of Madeline L’Engle, and other gems from the golden age of science fiction, "A World Called Crimson" uses the simple desires of children as a dependable wire on which to walk through the strange.
In one of Darius John Granger’s most popular stories, young Robin and her brother suffer a crash onto a planet where desires are realized simply by the power of the mind. With humor and taste, performer Jim Roberts brings to life this magical world populated by childrens’ wishes and threatened by their nemeses...the adults.

Udo's biggest problem isn't being a digger (that's low class), or staying drunk (that's damn expensive), or avoiding the Dwergaz (they're monsters), or even pissing off the supposed Gods. It's that his reality...well, it isn't what he thought. And now, he can't even afford to drink because his so-called friend Nicz is cutting into his business, digging up tin, iron, and copper. So Udo forms a new plan: clay. After all, clay jars are used to store everything: meat, herbs, and, his personal favorite, ale.
