About this listen

Penguin Presents the audio edition of Daemon Voices, written and read by Philip Pullman with an introduction by Simon Mason.

In over 30 essays, written over 20 years and recorded by the author himself in his home city of Oxford, one of the world's great story-tellers meditates on the art of story-telling. Warm, engaging and often amusing collection of writing which offers thoughts on a wide variety of topics, including the origin and composition of Philip's own stories, the craft of writing and the story-tellers who have meant the most to Philip. The art of story-telling is everywhere present in the essays themselves, in the instantly engaging tone, the vivid imagery and striking phrases, the resonant anecdotes, the humour and learnedness. Together, they are greater than the sum of their parts: a single, sustained engagement with story and story-telling.

I thoroughly enjoyed this. Expecting the boredom’s of watching paint dry, I found this to be riveting even about paint on canvas; I found the anatomy of communication is far more than just words. I have even had a tweet from PP (unrelated - as this is to my review). Thank you.

Execellent on craft of communication.

Pullman is wise, interesting, captivating. And these essays were surprisingly interesting to listen to. I'd recommend them to anyone who likes the author or the subject (literature and writing).

Great book

seldom have I read a book that has changed me more. I realised that I had more to learn as well as more to give this world. I also questioned assumptions and explored ideas. at the very least, I have a feast of literature ready to be explored. Thank you Phillip for kick starting my own daemon voices again.S Egan
