Political Correctness Gone MadFreddy Woo writes: "I once worked on an animation to help highlight the issues homeless people face in winter. The client was happy with the work, then a note came back that the ethnic mix of the characters were wrong. These were cartoon characters. They weren't meant to be ethnically anything, but we were forced to make one of them brown, at the cost of about 10k to the charity. This is how your donations are spent. Wisely as you can see."

Actually it was called 'Northern Lights' firstas it was published in the UK a year before it was published in the US. The trilogy had at one time been going to be called 'The Golden Compasses', but that refers to a different thing (Milton, compasses as in a pair of) not the alethiometer.
So the first book was originally 'Northern Lights' and it was changed for the US market, as people had previously said.
