The Collectors: His Dark Materials Story (Kindle Single

Pullman has identified three major literary influences on His Dark Materials: the essay On the Marionette Theatre by Heinrich von Kleist, [13] the works of William Blake, and, most important, John Milton's Paradise Lost, from which the trilogy derives its title.

Yet, the story is still enjoyable and doesn't require you to know anything about His Dark Materials to fully appreciate. With a dedication and acknowledgement to singer Kate Bush for “telling the original” many years before, that makes two powerful women who will have made their mark in The Collectors.
