Philip Pullman

Pullman is the author of children's favourites books including The Ruby In The Smoke, The Firework-Maker's Daughter and I Was a Rat!, but he is perhaps most famous for his best-selling trilogy His Dark Materials; Northern Lights, The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass.

As an aside, I once wrote an essay during my time in university in which I compared Northern Lights and one, I forget which, of the Harry Potter series. And before anybody comments about the dumbing down of university education these days, the module was specifically on Children's Literature, but I can't say that reading children's books for a couple of months was a chore!

Pullman was born in Norwich in 1946, and was educated in England, Zimbabwe and Australia before his family eventually settled in north Wales. He holds a CBE and an honorary D. Litt. from Oxford University, and has recently been made a Fellow of the Welsh Academy.

Tune in to Radio Wales from 2pm to hear Roy talking to Philip.
