Part novel, part history, part fairytale, The Good Man Jesus offers a radical new take on the myths and the mysteries of the Gospels, and the genesis of church that has so shaped the course of the last two millennia. With all the magic for which Pullman's storytelling is famed, this provocative and thoughtful new book from one of Britain's best loved writers promises to be the highest profile yet in Canongate's acclaimed Myths Series. About the Author Philip Pullman was born in Norwich, England in 1946 and grew up in Zimbabwe and Wales.

He worked as a teacher for many years and his first children's novel, COUNT KARLSTEIN, came out in 1982.
