Die Abenteuer des Baron von Krähenschreck

Pullman's imaginative universe feels so vivid—I'm curious whether he mapped out this magical world beforehand or let it evolve during writing.

Their bond felt genuine and sometimes touching, which added depth to what I expected to be a simple adventure. Am I the only one who felt this emotional connection?

There are funny moments but also moments that make you think. I wonder how he manages to keep it engaging for kids while still offering some substance.
