## Description

From the internationally best-selling author of the His Dark Materials trilogy, a spellbinding journey into the secrets of his art--the narratives that have shaped his vision, his experience of writing, and the keys to mastering the art of storytelling. One of the most highly acclaimed and best-selling authors of our time now gives us a book that charts the history of his own enchantment with story--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 both a revelation of the writing mind and the methods of a great contemporary master, and a fascinating exploration of storytelling itself.

Review: A collection of practical wisdom - This is a superb collection of speeches and miscellaneous writing, all covering Pullman's reflections on stories and storytelling. As you may expect it is readable and engaging and for the most part...utterly compelling. There are one or two pieces that didn't really engage me, but others were provocation and inspiring. I am a psychologist working with people and groups, as well as a writer, and this collection has given me a well of ideas and to draw from. If you have any interest in the way in which stories are told, then this is the book for you.
Review: A beautiful book about writing - The hardback version has colour plates at the centre and is beautifully bound. It contains lectures and articles by Pullman about books and writing. There’s considerable repetition because these talks and essays were intended for different audiences, but rather than becoming boring, the repeated points help to reinforce important and recurring themes. Taken as a whole it is a feel good read for aspiring and accomplished authors. It talks of the importance of literature in people’s lives and the challenges many authors face, then dips into work by giants like Milton, Blake, George Elliot and Lewis Carroll to illustrate salient points. It discusses philosophy, religion, science, paintings, poetry and prose with an intelligent honesty that draws the reader in. The book concludes with the hopeful chapter “The Republic of Heaven” and a plea to all those of a humanist persuasion to keep pushing towards a secular paradise on Earth with acts of kindness, by finding our own connection with the world we are all a part of, and by creating and sharing our own myths and stories to bring truths and facts into alignment.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enjoyable and instructive - though somewhat opinionated!
*by C***N on 28 January 2021*

I've always greatly enjoyed the novels of Philip Pullman, and so I was interested to read this collection of essays and talks he's given over the years on the subject of storytelling. It's a beautifully produced and attractive hardback, well indexed, with material which covers a wide range of topics, from the art and craft of putting a story together to philosophical critique of subjects such as religion and education. Pullman has never made any secret of the fact that he is an atheist, though his original upbringing as an Anglican and grandson of a vicar means he is well-versed in the history and literature of the Christian faith. What marred the book just a little for me was the sometimes overbearing tone. Pullman is always entertaining and is nobody's idea of a zealot - indeed, he is an outspoken critic of fundamentalism in any form, whether religious or political. But he is opinionated, and although I found I could enjoy his insights without always agreeing with them, he can sometimes slip into a bit of a tub-thumping tone on matters he feels strongly about. Whether you agree with him or not - and I do, on many of his hobbyhorses, like his disgust with the National Curriculum in British schools - the forceful repetition can get a little wearying. More importantly, he does sometimes contradict himself without (apparently) noticing. He loves folk- and fairy tale, and happily accepts that the characters we encounter within them are not fully-rounded in the way that characters within a novel usually are. He accepts that this is integral to the working of the form - the characters stand for something rather than being realistic portraits of actual people. However, when moving on to a discussion of fantasy he dismisses much of the genre - including authors such as Tolkien - because their characters are not in his view sufficiently well-rounded psychologically. If that is the case, and I'd dispute it to some extent, it's for much the same reason - because Tolkien is closer to epic, saga and folk tale than he is to, say, the novels of George Eliot or Jane Austen. Despite this, and despite some repetitiveness in subject matter, the book is ultimately both enjoyable and instructive. It's great to have such a window into the workings of a creative mind, and where he's talking about authors he enjoys (Blake and Milton among them) his appreciation and passion are tangible and inspirational.
