The epic story that takes us through the three novels is not only a spellbinding adventure featuring armored polar bears, magical devices, witches, and daemons, it is also an audacious and profound reimagining of Milton's Paradise Lost that has already inspired a number of serious books of literary criticism. I began to write this novel with little sense of the plot, even less notion of the theme, and only the vaguest idea of the characters. I suppose these things are partly temperamental; I know that some excellent writers make a great thing of planning every book before they write it; but it doesn't work for me. One thing such a technique prevents is what I think every long book must have if I'm not to go mad writing it, and that's the element of surprise. A book, especially a long book like His Dark Materials , has to have some sort of theme, or else you'll be working for a long time (this story took me seven years) in a moral vacuum. If you're working as seriously as you know how to, for a matter of years, then a theme will emerge whether you want it to or not. Next time I shall remember: the story should lead, and the theme will emerge in its own time and its own way.
