Philip Pullman on 'The Pocket Atlas of the World'
Philip Pullman \u2014 author of the fantasy classic "His Dark Materials" \u2014 is clearly attuned to the imaginative world of children. In fact, he was a middle school English teacher before he became a best-selling novelist. So maybe it\u2019s not surprising that the book that exerted such a pull on his own imagination was "The Pocket Atlas of the World," which he first encountered at the age of nine.
