问题详情:
Philip Pullman spent a great deal of his childhood traveling abroad because both his father and stepfather were pilots in the Royal Air Force(皇家空*). As a child, he went on several long ocean voyages, and he lived in Africa and in Australia. “Before I was 11 I had been to eight different schools.”
“In Australia, I made a great discovery. TV hadn’t reached Australia yet, but everyone listened to the radio. I remember listening to gangster serials(黑帮剧), and cowboy serials, and best of all-----Superman! When I first saw a superman comic(连环漫画), it changed my life. I’d been reading books for a long time, but I’d never known comics before. Soon afterwards, I discovered Batman, too, whom I loved even more.”
Pullman started writing his first novel the day after he had finished his final exams at Oxford University. “ I discovered after about an hour that it was much harder than I’d expected. It still is! I found that the amount I could write comfortably every day was about three pages, so that’s what I’ve done ever since.”
Before he became a full-time writer, Pullman had been teaching for many years. “What I enjoyed most during that time was telling stories over and over, until I knew them as well as I knew my own life.” He had always loved telling stories---- as a schoolboy he had entertained his friends by reading stories to them, or by making up his own.
One day he got a letter that had arrived at his door even though the writer of the letter didn’t know his address. The envelope(信封) just said, “Philip Pullman, The Storyteller, Oxford.”
