Join Philip Pullman and guests for a truly special event, hosted by Waterstones, at St James’s Church, London for the publication of The Rose Field, the long-awaited and highly anticipated conclusion to The Book of Dust and His Dark Materials, and to Lyra Silvertongue’s story. This momentous occasion will feature a conversation with Philip Pullman, live readings and a panel event discussing the books as a cultural phenomenon and what Philip Pullman’s writing means personally to the panellists, with special guests to be announced. Attendees will also have an opportunity to submit their questions in advance.

Please note: Philip will not be signing books on the day. Book and Ticket options include an exclusive hardback edition copy of The Rose Field (RRP £25), featuring original foiled endpapers, foiled cover design and a ribbon bookmark, or the Waterstones exclusive, strictly limited deluxe slipcase edition of The Rose Field (RRP £50), featuring foiled endpapers and beautiful details.

A limited number of signed bookplate editions of the exclusive deluxe slipcase edition of The Rose Field are available, whilst stocks last.

Customers who collect or purchase the book on the night will also receive a tote bag and have the option to have their book exclusively stamped with a rose motif.
