“The battered cargo balloon came in out of a rainstorm over the White Sea, losing height rapidly and swaying in the strong north-west wind as the pilot trimmed the vanes and tried to adjust the gas-valve.”
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. In 2008, The Times named Pullman in their list of "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945". ([Source][1]) [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Pullman
