One day, three men, led by the former Lord Chancellor, Lord Nugent, arrive at the inn and question Malcolm about the priory. Rosamund where Malcolm helps the nuns with maintenance and cooking. Malcolm works alongside fifteen-year-old Alice in his parents' inn, The Trout, close to the Priory of St. The Trout Inn - a fictional version of which features in the bookĮleven-year-old Malcolm Polstead and his dæmon Asta live three miles from Oxford. By setting three of the alethiometer's hands to point to symbols around a dial a skilled practitioner can pose questions, which are answered by the movement around the dial of a fourth hand. An important plot device is the alethiometer, or symbol reader, of which just six are known to exist in this world. In this world, humans' souls naturally exist outside of their bodies in the form of sentient " dæmons" in animal form which accompany, aid, and comfort their humans. The setting is a world dominated by the Magisterium (commonly called "the Church"), an international theocracy which actively suppresses heresy. It presents events prior to the arrival of the six-month-old Lyra Belacqua at Jordan College, Oxford. It is the first volume of a planned trilogy titled The Book of Dust and is set twelve years before Pullman's His Dark Materials. La Belle Sauvage is a fantasy novel by Philip Pullman published in 2017.
