Lyra's Oxford is a 2003 novella by Philip Pullman depicting an episode involving the heroine of His Dark Materials, Pullman's best-selling trilogyLyra's Oxford is set when Lyra Belacqua is 15, two years after the end of the trilogy.[1]

The book consists mainly of an illustrated short story, "Lyra and the Birds". A fold-out map of "Oxford by Train, River and Zeppelin" is bound in the book, a fictional map of Oxford as it exists in Lyra's world. It also includes some advertisements for books and travellers' catalogues. Two pages from a Baedeker published in Lyra's world (including entries for the Eagle Ironworks, the Oxford Canal, the Fell Press and the Oratory of St Barnabas the Chymist, all in the Jericho area of Lyra's Oxford), a postcard from the character Mary Malone, and a brochure for the cruise ship Zenobia are also included. The postcard contains four images of sites in the His Dark Materials trilogy: the physics lab in which Mary Malone works, the house occupied by Lord Boreal, the row of hornbeam trees where Will first discovered a window between the worlds, and the bench where Lyra and Will have pledged to visit each other in spirit once a year.

The preface by Pullman begins:

"This book contains a story and several other things. The other things might be connected with the story, or they might not; they might be connected to stories that haven't appeared yet. It's hard to tell."

《萊拉的牛津》是菲利普·普曼於2003年創作的中篇小說,講述了普曼暢銷三部曲《黑暗物質三部曲》女主角萊拉·貝拉奎亞在牛津的一段經歷。故事發生在萊拉15歲的時候,也就是三部曲結束兩年後。 [1]

本書主要由一篇圖文並茂的短篇小說《萊拉與鳥兒》組成。書中附有一張折疊地圖,名為“火車、河流和齊柏林飛艇遊覽牛津”,描繪了萊拉世界中的牛津。此外,書中還包含一些書籍廣告和旅遊指南。書中也收錄了兩頁萊拉世界出版的貝德克爾旅遊指南(包括鷹牌鋼鐵廠、牛津運河、費爾出版社和聖巴拿巴煉金術士教堂的介紹,這些景點都位於萊拉世界耶利哥地區)、一張瑪麗·馬龍寄來的明信片,以及澤諾比亞號遊輪的宣傳冊。這張明信片上印著《黑暗物質三部曲》中的四個場景:瑪麗·馬龍工作的物理實驗室、博雷爾勳爵的宅邸、威爾最初發現連接兩個世界的窗口的那排角樹,以及萊拉和威爾約定每年在精神層面相聚一次的長椅。

普曼在序言中寫道:

「這本書包含一個故事和一些其他的東西。其他的東西可能與故事有關,也可能無關;它們可能與尚未出現的故事有關。很難說。”
