    Summary

    “Your mother is going to kill me someday,” Father says, flopping down onto the sofa next to her and picking up the newspaper.
    Like, that’s an acceptable image to plant in the impressionable head of his young daughter.
    “And when she does, it’ll be up to you to avenge me,” he says with the same tone, like he’s discussing sport with the boring men Mother has over for tea.

    Summary

    The two people appeared from behind the small building, scarves wrapped around their faces to ward off the cold, and Lyra beamed at them, keen to make a good impression on her new colleagues. She was about to take a step towards the pair when their dæmons appeared behind them, and Lyra’s mouth could do nothing but fall open, her heart starting to rattle in her chest as her gaze swept over a snow leopard and a golden monkey.

    She blinked a few times, her breaths becoming harsh rasps, but each close of her eyes only served to bring them closer to her, until she could see each black spot that dotted the snow leopard’s silver coat. “No,” she breathed, and Pan was as frozen in shock as she was. “No, no, no. It can’t be – it can’t – ”

    (Five years after the end of The Amber Spyglass, Lyra receives a mysterious summons to the North.)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    MY HEART, MY SOUL

    Summary

    King Midas was a man of great fortune. Fate favoured him and more; his heart’s greatest desire would be granted to him. Everything he touched turned to gold! But, alas, his triumph became a curse! His ruthless, single-minded pursuit cost him his daughter, trapped in gold!
    There is a second part to this story, oft forgotten: Midas atoned, and his daughter was returned to him, his flesh and blood once more, to be folded into loving arms, now his heart’s most cherished. Then, happiness, gratitude, the love of living, breathing treasures, and the pursuit of a better life on Earth replaced the endless, relentless quest for coldest gold and impossible castles in the sky.

    In other words, the golden monkey reaches out to Lyra, and the world changes.
