One of the best characters in Philip Pullman's popular "His Dark Materials" was the laconic Texas balloonist Lee Scoresby, always accompanied by his daemon animal companion, Hester the jackrabbit. This short prequel tells of Scoresby's life before hooking up with Lyra Belacqua and his first meeting with that legendary armored bear, Iorek Byrnison. The book comes with a pullout map and cards.
