Golden Compass and Setting
I'm in the process of reading the book now and even though I really love it so far I can't seem to understand the setting of the novel. It's so strange. I get that its set in England, I guess somewhere arond Oxford in Jordan College. But the magical elements and the time setting seem so out of place, and yet perfectly in place, that I don't really know where I am. It's so everlasting, internal and yet external from the real England that we know. Why is that so and why is it so confusing?

I also had a bit of difficulty determining the setting. I believe that it is England, but I'm not sure.
