I was taken aback when I learnt the Dark Material trilogy was classed as
childrens fiction.
I would recommend it heartily. (note. the third book is not all it could have
been)
I haven't read much of Harry Potter, but what i did read didn't come close to
the Dark Material trilogy.
However, it may be I just dislike the whole glamourisation of one author and her
work.

Just thought I say something. I hate being classified as a lurker.

alga,

You're thinking of the right person; his series is titled
His Dark Materials, and comprises three volumes:
_The Golden Compass_; _The Subtle Knife_; and
_The Amber Spyglass_.

It's been strongly recommended to me by my book-
seller and by other friends, though not with the  . . .
fervor . . . that Harry Potter seems to engender.
