PHILIP PULLMAN | His Dark Materials Interview

Philip Pullman
November 21, 2020—I became interested in the work of Philip Pullman through writing my book, Oxford College Arms, which is now going into its 5th edition. 

I thought it might be a nice idea to add (fictional) coats of arms of fictional Oxford colleges to the mix of arms covered in the book. I assembled a list of fictional colleges and their related real colleges.

Philip Pullman's colleges in His Dark Materials trilogy are prominent on the list. The New Yorker interview with him increased my interest in preparing coats of arms for his colleges. I spoke with two people who work for his publisher. They said it might be of interest to the author and publisher. I would like to pursue this.
