Philip Pullman CBE, FRSL is an English writer from Norwich. He is the best-selling author of several books, most notably his trilogy of fantasy novels, [*His Dark Materials*](/series/OL330755L/His_Dark_Materials), and his fictional biography of Jesus, *The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ*. The first of *His Dark Materials* has been turned into the film The Golden Compass and the first two books from his Sally Lockhart series have been adapted for television.
