Wahoooo the Amber Spyglass is here! This week, we travel to a distant and rainbow-filled valley, to find Mrs Coulter camping out in a remote Himalayan cave. But she’s not alone…

Join us as we unenthusiastically sing some hymns, get sad about real-world rainbow valleys and both of us forget to take notes on different parts of the text.

Here is a video of O Worship the King being sung in a highly average way (genuinely the first video that came up on search!)

You can read Raine Maria Rilke’s Duino Elegies online here, and read about some of that background to Rilke writing the pieces here.

You can read William Blake’s Little Girl Lost here, and a little more about the references of this poem here.

If you too want to be disturbed and saddened by Everest’s real world rainbow valley, then feel free to read this article!
