The internationally bestselling author of the His Dark Materials trilogy shares his creative secrets and the keys to mastering the art of storytelling. One of the most acclaimed and bestselling authors of our time gives us a book that charts the history of his own enchantment with stories—from his own books to those of Blake, Milton, Dickens, and the Brothers Grimm, among others—and delves into the role of story in education, religion, and science. At once personal and wide-ranging, Daemon Voices is not only a revelation of the writing mind and the methods of a great contemporary master but also a fascinating exploration of storytelling itself.
