Philip Pullman Scores His First Number One

After months of planning, dedication and hard work, we are delighted to see La Belle Sauvage crash into the number one spot in the Nielsen consumer book charts.

Beating Dan Brown and Jamie Oliver in to second and third place respectively, this is Pullman’s first ever number one, and is officially the fastest selling children’s title since Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

Now that’s what we call a return on investment!
