Writing This is the beginning of a fairy tale by one of our top English writers for children and adolescents, Philip Pullman. He is the author of the fantasy trilogy His Dark Materials which has been adapted for film and the stage and recorded as audiobooks. Once upon a time there was an old king who fell ill, and as he was lying in pain he thought, 'This bed I'm lying on will be my deathbed.' And he said, 'Send for Faithful Johannes-I want to speak to him.' Faithful Johannes was his favourite servant. He had that name because he'd been true and loyal to the king all his life long. When he came into the king's bedroom the king beckoned him close to the bed, and said, 'My good and faithful Johannes, I'm not long for this world. The only thing that troubles me is my son. He's a good lad, but he's young, and he doesn't always know what's best for him. I won't be able to close my eyes in peace unless you promise to be like a foster father to him, and teach him all he ought to know.' Faithful Johannes said, 'I'll do that gladly. I won't forsake him, and I'll serve him faithfully even if it costs me my life.' 'That's a comfort to me,' said the king. 'I can die peacefully now. When I've gone, this is what you must do: show him over the whole castle, all the vaults, the chambers, the halls, and all the treasure they contain. But keep him away from the last room in the long gallery.' 07
