I wish I could say I noticed, but I can't. Although I did wonder when I was reading it if I was missing some subtle metaphors. Thanks, Skye, for the article links.

And they all seem to touch on similar things - the stage production, his rocking horse, then him repeating everything he always says about just being out to tell a story and not meaning to cause trouble. However, this statement is certainly new: "I'm fascinated by theology," he says. "The book I'm writing at the minute is about Jesus. I did a talk at the National Theatre with the Archbishop of Canter-bury, we were talking about the theology in the books and he said: 'You don't mention Jesus at all', so I put him in the next book, The Scarecrow and his Servant. Nobody noticed, so I thought I better make it clearer." All of which explains why there are several copies of the Bible on his writing desk. He is taking the four gospels from the New Testament and writing what appears to be his own version. Is this the gospel according to Philip Pullman? "No, I wouldn't be so foolish," he says. "The book is difficult to describe and I'd rather not go into it at this stage. It's just that I'm writing about this very interesting character called Jesus, who is very different from the character Paul calls Christ. I've been reading the gospels and reading around them. It's fascinating – and I've also realised it can't all be true." http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/features/I-told-stories-to-my.5310965.jp What is up with the sudden influx of interviews?
