"The Book of Dust" by Philip Pullman will be a companion novel to the "His Dark Materials" trilogy. It will follow Lyra, returning to her story two years after "Lyra's Oxford", and will tie into that previous book.cite web |url=http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/books/2007/08/a_very_grownup_childrens_autho.html |title=A very grown-up children's author |accessdate=2008-01-12 |date=2007-08-03 |publisher=The Guardian Unlimited Arts Blog] cite web |url=http://books.guardian.co.uk/news/articles/0,6109,930535,00.html |title= Pullman brings back Lyra for Oxford mystery |accessdate=2008-01-12 |date=2003-04-06 |publisher=The Guardian] Lyra will be "about 16".

Pullman had conceived of this book before the publication of "Lyra's Oxford" in 2003 but had not begun writing it at that time. [cite web |url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?xml=/arts/2003/11/04/bopull04.xml |title=The art of darkness |accessdate=2008-01-12 |date=2003-11-03 |publisher=The Telegraph] In a message on his website in April 2005, he said that "The Book of Dust" was now "under way". [cite web |url=http://www.philip-pullman.com/pages/content/index.asp?PageID=115 |title=April message |accessdate=2008-01-12 |year=2005 |month=April |publisher=Philip-Pullman.com] As of August 2007, he was still working on the book.

The only indication of its length is Pullman's description of it as "a big, big book".

In an interview with the Oxford Mail at the premier of The Golden Compass movie, Pullman suggested The Book of Dust could be released in 2009. cite web |url=http://www.oxfordmail.net/news/headlines/display.var.1908126.0.pullman_adds_to_trilogy.php |title=Pullman adds to trilogy |author=Andrew Ffrench |accessdate=2008-07-09 |date=2007-12-16 |publisher=The Oxford Mail]
