  SparkNotes: His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass
The Golden Compass opens as Lyra Belacqua, a young girl, and Pantalaimon, her daemon, attempt to spy on the house Master in Jordan College, a school at Oxford University.
Pantalaimon is the external expression of Lyra’s soul.
We don’t yet know what Dust is, but we know that it has something to do with the difference between innocence and experience, the difference between age and youth, and the process by which a person’s daemon becomes fixed in one shape.

Lyra picked up the essay again but, realising that she might not now be able to pay her fullest attention to its turgid prose and over-earnest advocacy of the undergraduate’s arguments, put it back down with a thud, took off her spectacles, stood up and walked around her desk and over to the stone-mullioned window.
The servant took her cap and gown and showed her though to the sitting room, where the Dean and the Master were already sitting in large red leather armchairs before a crackling log fire, their daemons by their sides.
Pantalaimon sat on her lap, under strict instructions to exhibit a proper attention to good manners and not to nibble crumbs.

The Master's daemon had the form of a raven, and as soon as his robe was on, she jumped down from the wardrobe and settled in her accustomed place on his right shoulder.

Will had no idea of the taboo in Lyra's world preventing one person from touching another's daemon, and if he hadn't touched Pantalaimon before, it was politeness that had held him back and not knowledge.

 The Golden Compass
In the first of a planned trilogy, Pullman has created a wholly developed universe, which is, as he states, much like our own but different in many ways--a world in which humans are paired with animal "daemons" that seem like alter egos, only with personalities of their own.
The story begins at Jordan College in Oxford, where young Lyra Belacqua and her daemon, Pantalaimon, are being reared and educated by the Scholars.
Lyra and Pantalaimon, a pubescent girl and her dæmon (the embodiment of a person's soul), were totally captivating.
