Philip soon returned to England. He attended Exeter College at the University of Oxford where he earned a BA in English Philosophy.

Pullman's career began during his work at the school, where he settled after completing his studies. In 1972, the author published The Haunted Storm, for which he was nominated for the New England Library Young Writer Award. But the guy was dissatisfied with the first job.

Philip continued to create books with an adult audience in mind. Only 10 years after the literary debut, the bibliography was replenished with the children's story "Count Karlstein". The work was created on the basis of plays composed for school performances. Then he set about writing a tetralogy about Sally Lockhart. This is a story about a brave girl living in England at the end of the 19th century. After the death of her father, she set about solving a mystery that threatened her life.

Publications began to generate income, and the man decided to give up his teaching job in order to devote more time to writing. He took a part-time job as a faculty member at Westminster College, Oxford. During this period, Pullman took up the writing of the first part of the Dark Principles series, written in the genre of fantasy.

Northern Lights was first published in 1995. In the United States, the work is better known as the Golden Compass. In the center of the plot is a girl named Lyra Belaqua, who lives in a fictional world where there is a place for magic, magical creatures and fantastic animals. She finds herself embroiled in a dangerous adventure, on the outcome of which the fate of the fantasy universe depends.

When writing the novel, the author tried to think over the plot to the smallest detail. He invented extraordinary creatures, which he called daemons. They are a part of the soul of a person who is accompanied all his life. Its pages contain armored bears, witches, and unusual technologies.

The book has impressed readers around the world. Works were rewarded with the Carnegie Medal and the Children's Science Fiction Prize. After that, Philip decided to quit his job and take on the next part of the series. During this period, he gave lectures and reports in which he criticized the policy of modern education.

In 2005, the writer was awarded the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award for achievements in children's literature. He is also president of the Society of Authors, which is considered the highest honor in the literary world.

During his creative biography, the man repeatedly returned to the "Dark Principles", which made him famous. He created 2 more books after the announced completion of the trilogy, and in 2017 he published The Beautiful Savage as a prequel.

Some of Philip's works were filmed. The most popular was the film "The Golden Compass" with Nicole Kidman, Eva Green and Dakota Blue Richards.
