Balloon goes up to publicise literary landmark (Nov 03 2003 17:59 GMT) - Charles Davis writes: "The site of the most famous park bench in the universe will be revealed to an avid public on Thursday - an event to be trailed by the flight of a "Zeppelin" airship over Oxford today. The bench plays a central - and to the books' millions of fans, heartbreaking - role in Philip Pullman's trilogy, His Dark Materials, by far the highest-selling children's books after Harry Potter. The air balloon, mocked up to resemble a first world war German Zeppelin bomber, will herald the publication of Lyra's Oxford, Pullman's first book since his 1,000-page epic of war and adventure in heaven and earth. The new volume, only 50 pages long, is set in the same alternative Oxford as the trilogy, a place where steam trains still run and dawn Zeppelins fly travellers to London. |
