The Guardian on Philip Pullman

The Guardian has published a brief profile of Philip Pullman, the English author of a fantastic series of children's fantasy novels. It begins by referring to his new book, a retelling of the story of Aladdin; that book may or may not be worth checking out (I've had a mixed reaction to the few Pullman books I've read that weren't part of the His Dark Materials series), but the way I look at it, most any article drawing attention to Pullman is worth pointing out.
