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

Eleven-year-old Malcolm Polstead and his dæmon, Asta, live along with his parents on the Trout Inn near Oxford. Over the River Thames (which Malcolm navigates often using his beloved canoe, a boat by the about La Belle Sauvage: The Publication of Dust Volume One name of La Belle Sauvage) may be the Godstow Priory where the nuns live. Malcolm discovers they have a visitor with them; an infant by the name of Lyra Belacqua .

“As a reader and a lover, I used to be hugely excited about hearing that Phillip was time for the story of Lyra and Dirt and challenging the Authority. And, as an actor, it was a true privilege to become asked to record La Belle Sauvage, the 1st book of this new function.” Michael Sheen

‘The best piece of narration I’ve ever noticed’ – The Bookseller

“Michael Sheen’s narration of Philip Pullman’s new novel is better than an army of voice actors his voice is impressive, in the crisp, definitive consonants of its higher registers towards the rumbly bass records Sheen summons when some menace enters the picture, to the vast, buttery expanse of his middle range.” Slate
